COAST GRADE VINEYARD

The Coast Grade Vineyard is a notable vineyard within the Ben Lomond Mountain Appellation, located in Bonny Doon at an elevation of approximately 1,300 feet. The 17-acre vineyard is planted exclusively to Pinot Noir and is known for its unique terroir, characterized by sandy loam soil over a limestone slab, resulting in wines with complex earthy, mineral, and oceaninfluenced flavors and excellent aging potential.

Key Characteristics

• Location: Situated in Bonny Doon, within the coastal western edge of the Ben Lomond Mountain AVA.

• Elevation: The vineyard sits at around 1,300 feet.

• Viticulture: It is planted to Pinot Noir, specifically Dijon Clones 828, 115, and 667, as well as the Pommard clone.

• Soils: The soil is a unique combination of sandy topsoil over a limestone slab.

• Farming: The vineyard is currently farmed by Ryan Beauregard of Beauregard Vineyards.

• Vineyard Size: It comprises approximately 17 acres.

• Yields: Yields are low, at only 1.5 to 2.5 tons per acre, contributing to wine concentration.

Wine Characteristics

• Flavor Profile: Wines from Coast Grade show deep earthy complexity, minerality, and a unique “ocean spray” refreshment, a result of the vineyard’s proximity to the coast and the prevailing fog.

• Aging Potential: The wines are known to be age-worthy and have good potential to develop over a decade or more.

• Aromatics: The nose features notes of pomegranate, blood orange, and savory herbs.
