Domaine Danielle Laurent vineyard is Laurent Montalieu’s home vineyard at Solena Estate. It’s a special, special vineyard that runs on a severe slope and shares the same hill as Shea Vineyard. But unlike the Shea Pinot which required a favor from Anne to secure, Laurent is Anne’s boss – so securing a few choice plots to further her Single-Vineyard Trousse Chemise project was “no big deal”. But, in fact it really was.
No doubt Anne’s tireless dedication to Hyland and Solena over the past decade plus earned her a chance to make a single-vineyard off this special sentimary soiled vineyard along Y-C’s rolling hills. But she’s the first one to do it!
Founded in 2000 by Laurent Montalieu and Danielle Andrus (Gary’s daughter), the 80-acre vineyard has long been a particularly sweet spot on winemakers’ radars. But for the past twenty years, Danielle and Laurent have turned down dozens of requests for fruit off the vineyard, opting instead to use it for their perennial Wine Spectator Top 100 feature, Solena Estate’s Grand Cuvee as well as the crown jewel of the Solena lineup, the DDL Vineyard Pinot.

90 Points, Wine Spectator
Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
