The growing season is remarkably chilly in the Sonoma Coast’s breezy Sebastopol Hills. Here, Burnside Vineyard sits atop a ridge, exposed to cool marine air from the Pacific. Red Goldridge soils mark this parcel as a superb Pinot Noir site, with a hillside orientation bending to the east for early morning sun exposure. Burnside is an extremely low-yielding site producing very small, intensely flavored berries.
