From this soil,
this season.
Estate wines grown, harvested, and bottled where the Mayacamas meets the valley floor. No shortcuts. No impatience. Just the fruit of one patient season at a time.
Patience,
bottled.
SOLERA began with a single hillside block and a simple conviction: that the best wine you can make is the one your land wants to give you. Thirty-seven years later, that conviction has deepened into every vine, every barrel, every bottle.
Our 180-acre estate spans three distinct terroirs — the volcanic benchlands of Oakville, the fog-bathed slopes of Fort Ross-Seaview, and the limestone-rich Willow Creek hillsides. We farm each block differently. We vinify each lot separately. We blend only when the parts become greater than the whole.
Our story
"Every bottle is a record of a year — the weather, the soil, the hundred small decisions made and the ones held back. We don't make wine. We let the land make it."
