Sonoma Coast

**Sonoma Coast** is a cool-climate California wine region running along the Pacific in Sonoma County. It has become one of the United States' most respected addresses for elegant, restrained New World wines. **Wines & grapes** — Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the stars, joined by cool-climate Syrah, in styles that favour freshness and finesse over sheer power. **Character** — Ocean fog and chilly breezes off the Pacific slow ripening, preserving bright acidity and delicate aromatics in the grapes. **Good to know** — the coolest, most fog-influenced sites are sometimes bottled under the tighter West Sonoma Coast designation.
