Vineyard Profile
Expressing the unique character of a cool climate Zinfandel on Goldridge soil, Radio-Coteau’s Sonoma Coast Estate vineyard resides on a sun-drenched coastal ridge top above the town of Occidental. Lemorel is a tribute to the pioneering winegrowing family, folks who not only planted some of the first coastal Zinfandel, but also built the old historic winery back in 1906, currently still in-use though retired from original intent. With vines planted in 1946, Lemorel is living history, and the concentrated fruit and layered mouthfeel of the 2016 vintage exemplifies the depth and complexity of these 70-year-old vines.
