title: Dolin 2012 Solomon Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: The Malibu-based winery's take on this Miller family vineyard—which sits at the appellation's western edge—is intriguingly complex, with aromatic layers of clove, raspberry, vanilla bean and dried rose hips. Set against a tight but bright raspberry backdrop, the palate shows black tea, Indian spices and all manner of dried herbs and flowers, from oregano, rosemary and thyme to cardamom and coriander.
variety: Pinot Noir
