Williams Selyem, Sonoma Coast, Coastlands Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2012 Tempranillo 80% GrenacheCoastlands Vineyard sits on a ridge in Occidental, roughly six acres of Pinot Noir at an elevation of 1,000 feet, a few miles from the Bodega Coast. The Pacific is close enough to feel. Fog moves in and out on its own schedule, and the growing season runs long and cool conditions that push the fruit toward concentration and intensity rather than easy ripeness. David Cobb and now his son Ross have been farming the same vines planted at the vineyards
