    Winemaker Notes

    The inky dark purple color of our 1998 Camp Meeting Ridge Pinot noir indicates a cool, long hang-time year on "The Ridge". The aroma is of pure fruit concentrate with ripe black and red berries and bing cherry, with grace notes of sandalwood and East India spice. On the palate, the cool-climate expression of floral, violet and rose petal notes is prevalent, along with flavors of red and black cherry and a late finish of cola nut and beautifully resolving tannins. As we work with the fruit during each vintage, we find new ways of letting the power of our steep hillside and ridge-top fruit speak through elegance. This fine example of what Coastal Pinot noir can be has the grace to drink soon after release and the structure to last well into the next decade.

    Flowers Winery Video

    Over 25 years ago, Flowers Vineyards and Winery pioneered the growing of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the rugged coastal ridges of the extreme Sonoma Coast. Joan and Walt Flowers had a simple goal, to make exceptional wine that captures the wild beauty of the land and the spirit of the Sonoma Coast. This idea continues to drive everything we do - farming responsibly, harvesting by hand, using 100% native fermentation, and making wine with minimal intervention. Our unwavering commitment to crafting distinctive wines that capture the spirit of the Sonoma Coast has been the bedrock of our success, and it will continue to drive us forward for years to come.  

    Perched on top of soaring coastal ridges that border the nearby Pacific Ocean, our estate vineyards, Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge, rise to impressive elevations from 1,150 to 1,875 feet. Flowers resides in the Fort Ross-Seaview American Viticulture Area (AVA), which was established in 2012 and located on the extreme western edge of the Sonoma Coast Appellation. Defined by elevation, rugged terrain and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, vineyard plantings are limited to 920-1,800+ft above sea level and are only 2% of the total AVA acreage.

    The Pacific Ocean is less than two miles from the vineyards, generating cooling sea breezes and coastal fog while the soaring elevations ensure abundant sunshine for a long, slow growing season. Together they create an ideal environment for elegant and nuanced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
