This is a fresh and zesty White Wine Blend, the perfect summer evening accompaniment to lighter dishes. Floral notes with a hint of citrus that are best served chilled.
A luminous wine that speaks with grace and clarity, the 2024 Soliloquy opens with an expressive bouquet of honeysuckle, pear blossom, citrus flower, and a whisper of white orchard fruit, all suffused with delicate minerality and a hint of wet stone. On the palate, this vintage unfolds with elegant precision: bright citrus (lemon, Meyer lemon), racy green apple, and stone fruit (white peach, pear) layered over a silken core. The mid-palate reveals subtle floral tones and a gentle grassy/herbal lift. Its finish is long and resonant, carrying the fruit forward while echoing floral and mineral notes, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and poise.
Crossroads Ranch Vineyard, Oakville AVA, Napa Valley
Our 2024 Flora Springs Soliloquy is the continuation of a remarkable journey that began in 1989. Noting the unique character of a small block of Sauvignon Blanc from our Crossroads Vineyard in the Oakville AVA, we fermented and bottled it separately as our first Soliloquy white wine. The Italian influence of our late winemaker, Enrico Bertoz, saw the addition of Malvasia Bianco the blend - whispers of fresh, floral notes weaved their way through the Sauvignon Blanc base, crafting a wine that is as versatile as it is profound.
Today, Soliloquy represents our quest to create the finest white wine we have ever made.
In an attempt to preserve the thumbprint of this treasured fruit source, the fruit is whole-cluster fermented in its natural yeast. This technique also means there is no inoculated yeast present in the wine. Aged for 6 months in vessel. Composition: 30% concrete egg, 15% new French oak (all Francois Freres), 30% neutral oak, 25% stainless steel drum.
The 2024 growing season kicked off with heavy winter rains, which saturated soils and laid a foundation for healthy vegetative growth, preparing the vines for expansive heat events from June through harvest. Excellent grape quality has winemakers excited about the potential of the vintage, with strong phenolic ripeness and balanced sugar levels, promising complex and flavorful wines. A mid-summer heat wave accelerated sugar accumulation while allowing acids to develop steadily.
Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter Magazine"...incredibly fragrant and floral-driven, bursting with vivacity and zesty acid tension. What a fantastic wine in 2024—totally enthralling."
