Flora Springs Soliloquy Vineyard 2007


Oakvile, California. Bright and crisp green apples in the front and a hint of minerals . With the complexity of the 2006 but is a little greener- with straw notes. Has a little grapefruit and honeydew and a nice full finish. This wine would be great with sharp cheeses and pork or poultry with fruit sauces.

From the Winery: Following fermentation, the wine is sur less aged for eight months in 1600 gallon, sixty-year old, neutral oak, upright ovals. The combination of bright acidity unique to this vineyard site, and the wonderful complexity that comes with the sur lees aging, creates a long, smooth finish of clean fruit flavors of melon and fig that linger on the palate. The result is a Soliloquy in perfect harmony.
