Where to find the best Californian Pinot Noir

Where to find the best Californian Pinot Noir

September 30, 2016 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

When it comes to grape-growing regions, Anderson Valley in Mendocino County is one of the chiliest grape-growing regions in all of California. The Pinot Noir producers that are based in this particular region tend to be very small. Also when it comes to the best wines they usually virtually always come from the coolest small regions that locals call the True Sonoma Coast.

Key Takeaways:

  • The best wines virtually always come from the coolest small slice that locals call the True Sonoma Coast. The vineyards here, often in sight of the Pacific, seem perpetually laced with fog.
  • Only the coolest pockets work for Pinot Noir. Joseph Swann, Rochioli and Williams Selyem were pivotal early producers here, as was the sparkling wine house Iron Horse.
  • One impressive southeast-facing bank of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the Santa Lucia Highlands is known for some of California’s boldest, flashiest and most powerful Pinots.
