The Sonoma Coast AVA is a big appellation, but its defining feature is consistent: Pacific fog rolls in each afternoon, suppressing daytime heat and extending the growing season well into fall. The 2023 growing season ran two to four weeks behind schedule after a cool, wet winter, with some producers harvesting as late as November — more hang time, more freshness, better balance than 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExecutive winemaker Petar Kirilov brings thirteen vintages of Napa and Sonoma experience to a small-production release: 145 cases total. This is a 375ml half-bottle — a useful format for a by-the-glass pairing or a single-glass pour alongside a cheese course.
