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. Harvested on a cool, crisp morning in mid-September, the 2017 Lemorel is comprised of distinctive, gnarly vines planted in 1946. This vintage is especially limited in quantity, with fewer than 100 cases available.
