Growing Conditions
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 town of Annapolis, at 600-800 feet above sea level. The soils at this ridge-top site are well drained Goldridge sandy loam, which helps to intensify the sense of minerality and focus in the wines produced from this vineyard. The 2012 vintage was another ideal vintage on the Sonoma Coast, which produced very concentrated wines. This wine was produced from a block planted to Clones 15 and 809.
