Coastview Vineyard

Located at over 2200 ft in the Gabilan Mountains with a commanding view of the Salinas Valley and Monterey Bay. We source Syrah, Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this exceptional vineyard planted on decomposed granite and veins of limestone. In many respects including soils and elevation, this vineyard is nearly identical to those of Calera's famous Mt. Harlan vineyards just a few miles to the North. Owner John Allen farms the vineyard organically and follows our direction with respect to keeping yields down and managing the canopy for the highest quality.
