Don Sebastiani & Sons, North & Central Coast, California
Grapes for the Don & Sons Sonoma Signature Series are sourced primarily from vineyards in the southern-most corner of the Sonoma Coast AVA, a foggy and windy area known as the Petaluma Gap. The Petaluma Gap has a number of key climatic nuances that make the grapes that grow there exceedingly special. A typical day sees temperature swings of forty to fifty degrees, with vineyards in the Petaluma Gap bathed in fog nearly every morning and evening. Rain is prevalent, with annual rainfall nearly twice that of its inland neighbors. The cooler weather slows down the ripening process. This extended “hang time” allows the grapes to slowly intensify flavors, while retaining the ideal acidity levels needed for well-balanced wines.
