Solomon Hills Estate Solomon Hills Chardonnay 2022 Review
Coming from the sandy soils of Santa Maria Valley in Santa Barbara, the Solomon Hills vineyard enjoys direct benefits from the Pacific Ocean. When you see the geography of this land, it’s amazing that vines can thrive here. It’s that daily rush of ocean breeze that gives this site life. This Chardonnay is soft and buttery on the nose, contrasted by notes of lemon curd and thyme on the palate.
