Cool-climate wines grown a mere 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean
Founding Story
Sonoma Coast Vineyards, founded in 2001, was born from an affinity for the Pacific Ocean, the surrounding lush landscape of the Sonoma Coast, and a passion for Pinot Noir. Sonoma Coast is a unique cold-climate growing area, West of the Russian River Valley and a mere five miles from the Pacific Ocean. We emphasize on vineyard-designated wines with several single vineyard Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Vineyards
There are many rigorous challenges of growing fruit in this dramatically cold environment on the far western reaches of Sonoma County, but they are well worth the risk. We rise to the challenges of the Sonoma Coast to produce wines with fully ripened fruit at lower brix, mature flavors, and tannins, that are balanced by a high-acid profile.
All Sonoma Coast vineyards share similar traits beyond the cool, maritime-influenced climate, including thin, rocky, shallow soil composed of sand and clay with little organic material. The vineyards are sustainably farmed and planted utilizing high-density spacing to stress the vines and ensure development of concentrated flavors.
Sonoma Coast Sourcing
From long term relationships to unique, limited available sourcing, our vineyard sites showcase the very best of the Sonoma Coast AVA.
Today, Sonoma Coast Vineyards works closely with this small group of ambitious growers in partnership efforts.
