* Vineyard Character - Our Far Coast Vineyard is a cool site surrounded by redwood forests, almost two hours north of the Russian River on a Sonoma Coast mountain ridge. It is an area that some call the ‘True Sonoma Coast’. Others would simply describe the distant vineyard site as ‘the middle of nowhere’. Far Coast Vineyard sits just south of the Peay Vineyard at an elevation of about 900 to 1200 feet above sea level. The soils at this ridge-top site are well drained and help to intensify the sense of minerality and focus in this rare single vineyard Pinot Noir.
* Wine notes - Our Far Coast Pinot Noire offer vibrant black cherry, mineral, coffee and Asian spice aromas and flavours. It is well structured, finishing with fine grain and silky tannins that reflect its cool coastal ridge terroir. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
