Description

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir
Vintage Production: 320 cases

One of the producers at the forefront of Sta. Rita’s Hills’ success is Dragonette Cellars. Winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gills, and brothers Steve and John Dragonette, select the region’s elite vineyards to make Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of utter refinement and distinction.

The Fiddlestix Vineyard sits on the sloped banks of the Santa Ynez River, where it’s cooled from the persistent Pacific breezes. The resulting Pinot Noir is full of depth and intensity, while carrying bags of elegance and finesse. With 97 points (WA) the 2020 is the highest-ever scoring wine from this amazing site, and it’s one of the best buys of the vintage.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

James Suckling 96

Very structured, with excellent fine and integrated tannins that run the length of the wine. Iron and spices. Dried red Korean pepper, iodine and cherry. Solid finish. Needs to time to soften. But impressive. Better after 2026. [03/04/2023]

Robert Parker 97

The 2020 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard, picked before the heatwave and made with whole clusters, has a medium ruby color and alluring aromas of cranberry sauce, blueberry, mixed tea leaves and lavender, picking up earthy nuances as it spends time in the glass. Medium-bodied, lightly chalky and fresh, the palate has it all concentrated, spicy fruits, generous floral perfume and a very long, detailed finish. What a lovely expression! 490 cases were made. [Erin Brooks, 08/12/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2027

Vinous 96

The 2020 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard is an outrageously beautiful wine. Rich, dark and sumptuous, the 2020 is so compelling right out of the gate. The Fiddlestix is on the bigger side, and yet there is a level of nuance that is impossible to miss. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mocha pomegranate and orange zest build into the rich, resonant finish. [Antonio Galloni, 01/06/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2035

2016 Soliste, Terre Promise Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 1x75cl

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir Vintage Production: 117 cases The story behind Terre Promise is a fascinating one. Don and Claude produced their first MonoClone® Pinot Noir in 2006, crafted from the Dijon... 115 clone in the family’s Sonatera Vineyard. The 115 clone originated in Burgundy where is was saved in early 1950s by Raymond Bernard, who was allowed to graft in Domaine Ponsot’s vineyard in the Grand Cru of Clos de la Roche. It was then sent first to David Lett in Oregon and made its way down to Sonoma. Of the many clones Soliste have worked with, their favourite is Dijon 115.   In 2015, Don and Claude were introduced to Terra de Promissio Vineyard, just south of Petaluma, and fell in love with it straight away. They noted a parcel of Dijon 115 vines, and with their relentless dedication to produce the very best Pinot Noir, they applied their knowledge to create a Pinot worthy of their MonoClone® programme. Of all the wines produced by Soliste, this is Don's favourite - so far...

2013 Soliste, Renaissance Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 1x75cl

MR95
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir Vintage production: 122 cases Renaissance comes from one of those unique vineyard sites that truly exemplifies the Soliste philosophy and style. The hilltop vineyard has three... different exposures, facing north, south, and west. This geography funnels brisk marine winds over the vines reducing vigor, extending the ripening period of the grapes, and allowing distinctive aromatics to develop. Once you have tasted Renaissance Pinot Noir, you will always be able to identify its origins.
