Fort Ross Sea Slopes
Fort Ross Sea Slopes produces exceptional Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast vineyards influenced by Pacific Ocean fog and cooling winds. These high-elevation sites create ideal conditions for slow ripening, resulting in wines with remarkable elegance, bright acidity, and complex flavor development.
The Fort Ross Sea Slopes vineyard sits at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,700 feet above sea level, where maritime influence creates dramatic diurnal temperature variation. This climate allows for extended hang time and optimal flavor development in Pinot Noir grapes. The winemaking emphasizes gentle handling, native yeast fermentation, and judicious use of French oak to preserve the wine's natural elegance. Each vintage captures the unique characteristics of this exceptional terroir, balancing concentration with finesse.
