Coastview Vineyard, perched at a remarkable 2400 feet elevation atop the Gabilan Mountains, boasts decomposed granite soils that contribute to the wine's elegance. The Olson Vineyard, situated just a few miles from Monterey Bay, benefits from the moderating influence of the coastal fog, resulting in a slower ripening period and grapes with concentrated flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Dune \u0026amp; Mountain Pinot Noir was fermented 100% whole cluster using only native yeast.
