Fort Ross Vineyard has been crafting distinctive wines on California's rugged Sonoma coast since 1988, when Lester and Linda Schwartz established their 51-acre vineyard despite challenging coastal conditions. Under winemaker Jeff Pisoni, they produce exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinotage—the latter made from bud wood they were the first to privately import from South Africa through UC Davis. Consistently earning 90+ scores and recognized as a benchmark producer for the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, this boutique winery represents the best of what this distinctive region has to offer.
An early pioneer of the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, this estate winery farms fifty acres of high-elevation coastal vineyard near the Pacific Ocean, crafting benchmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 33 small blocks with consistent 90+ critical scores.
