Far Coast Vineyard

Pale lemon-gold color, the 2014 Far Coast Vineyard Blanc de Blancs rolls out with classic toasty/yeasty notes, giving way to a core of yellow apples, allspice, kumquat, and lemon meringue pie, with gentle wafts of wet pebbles and salted almonds. The palate delivers wonderful tension with delicate citrus and orchard fruit flavors and super-fine bubbles, finishing with long lingering mineral and citrus zest layers. This was disgorged in August 2024. It has 0.2 grams per liter of dosage—almost nothing. Only 90 cases were made. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Palate, July 2025

"Dark red magenta in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Far Coast Vineyard belongs to the recently added West Sonoma Coast AVA and was aged for 14 months in 32% new French oak barrels. In the glass, it’s ripe with notes of black raspberries, crushed pine needles, licorice, and toasted cedar. Medium-bodied, it has sweet tannin and a good deal of fresh, ripe fruit, with a juicy feel throughout its long-lasting finish. It’s quite charming out of the gate, but it also has a very well-balanced structure and a more interesting level of refined complexity. Drink it over the next 10-15 years." - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, June 2024

"Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2023 Far Coast Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals red currant and kirsch notes plus fragrant notes of lavender, underbrush, and mint tea. The medium to full-bodied palate has wonderful tension with plush tannins and energetic red berry and floral notes, finishing long and chalky. 348 cases were made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Palate, July 2025

"The 2022 Far Coast Chardonnay rockets out with vibrant notes of green mango, guava, and fresh pineapple opening out to hints of crushed rocks, sea spray, and baking bread.  The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and soft-spoken, with seamless freshness leading to a long and savory finish...

"Medium golden yellow, the 2023 Chardonnay Far Coast Vineyard is from vines grown at 600-1000 feet elevation on the West Sonoma Coast. The nose is more savory and more coastal, with notes of sea spray, crushed shells, zesty Meyer lemon, and green pear. The palate is focused and medium-bodied, with a ripe core as well as hints of sweet vanilla and spice coming through on the finish. Give it another year in bottle to come together and drink over the following 8-10 years. " - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025
