Sonoma Coast
Cool climate and relatively high rainfall are the general ecological features shared by all vineyards within the Sonoma Coast AVA. These factors contribute to slow grape maturation, with optimum ripeness coinciding with the very end of the growing season -- ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. The appellation stretches as far south as San Pablo Bay, right up to the Mendocino County line. Its broad boundaries overlap a number of other Sonoma AVAs and sub-AVAs. They also include some Sonoma shoreline vineyards, previously outside any other viticultural area. We will produce up to two vineyard designate wines (Gap’s Crown Vineyard and Redwood Vista Vineyard) from the Sonoma Coast and a Sonoma Coast blend.
