Rugged, often wild, with never-ending complexity, this vast coastal growing region has long
been home to advocates for sustainable viticulture. The Hess winemaking team looks to our
dedicated grower partners for quality fruit that expresses the unique terroir of the California
Coast. The delicate Pinot Noir varietal thrives in this region due to the cooling effect of the
Pacific breeze, resulting in extended ripening over a long, moderate growing season. Warm
days and cool evenings preserve the bright acidity and silky tannin of this concentrated wine.
Rolling hillsides and benchlands offer prime vineyard sites producing flavorful fruit with
approachable structure.
