Having white Burgundies as benchmarks, especially the wines of Raveneau, Jobard, and Coche, we were never too anxious to even attempt to craft Chardonnay in the new world as we have always felt that the wines were over the top with buttery popcorn mouth feel, way too much oak, high alcohol and clunky to say the least -- they seem more like a martini than a Chardonnay.
St Andelain is our homage to the incomparable late Didier Dagueneau. Born from a single organic vineyard, the grapes were destemmed and allowed 36 hours of skin contact to create unique richness and depth. After pressing we barrel fermented and aged for 16 months in Didier’s creation, the Cigar Barrel. There is no malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity, verve and length.
St Andelain is a true expression of Soliste wines: Exceptional vineyards, meticulous grape selection, elegant balance of acidity and aromatics, to create wines of great complexity and finesse.

Sonatera 2010 embodies all the Complexity, Power, Depth and Soul of a great Gevrey Chambertin, layered with the unique fruit and spice aromatic of this one of a kind Sonoma vineyard site. This Pinot Noir will generate great emotion and deep conversation for years to come. A Classic.
For us, L’Espérance Pinot Noir is always the most anticipated release. It is the one that sets the tone and embodies all of the challenges, determination, sacrifice that comes with crafting compelling Pinot Noir.
If L’Espérance is the most feminine, ethereal Pinot Noir that we produce, Les Griottes is the most masculine and enigmatic. Born from a legendary clone of great pedigree and situated on an amazing site in the middle of giant redwood trees. The wine density and concentration as well as its origins have created many debates and conversations around the tables of our friends. [Les Griottes is the restaurant-only version of L'Ambroisie, perhaps our most sought-after wine]
Pommard meets Volnay – The Quest for Perfection Continues.
Nouveau Monde is the pure expression of our Philosophy: To focus on a single clone to craft a wine that beautifully marries the virtues of both Volnay and Pommard.

Welcome to our dark side...Single vineyard, From Two MonoClones, ONE barrel, never to be produced again.
Evil Twins, more than any other Soliste wines, represent our unique friendship and journey, that came from two Humans of opposite roots, upbringing, nationality, who found themselves with common threads…Great wines, great food to be shared at a convivial table filled with devilish jokes and laughter
This Syrah is a muscular, powerful wine with trademark Soliste elegance, length and balance. It has the finesse of a great Côte Rôtie or Hermitage but the animal power of a Cornas. It also has the ability to age for decades. Out of the Shadows comes from a sliver of a vineyard in the Bennett Valley hills.
In 2010, we singled out a unique barrique with the purest aromas and structure. The wine was aged for 44 months (nearly four years) until the Beast was tamed. La Sauvage is extraordinary in complexity and depth; a great paradox of muscular aromas and silky texture.
