Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

King Ridge vineyard is tucked away on the northwestern reach of the Sonoma Coast. The AVA is Fort Ross-Seaview. At 1100 ft elevation, and 5 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, King Ridge vineyard is worth the journey. We are excited to be working with 2 acres of this spectacular vineyard. Tightly spaced vines on Goldridge soils, superbly farmed, create wines that have tension and richness, balance and edginess.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    From a two-acre site at 1,110-feet elevation only five miles from the Pacific Ocean, this wine opens as if it were a lovely, expansive rose garden, so fragrant and intensely earthy. Built with sizable tannic structure and toasty oak, it features burly waves of spicy acidity and warm baking spices, exhibiting both tension and grace. Drink now through 2023.
    Cellar Selection
  • 92
    The initial up front plum and wild berry flavors are shaded by anise and crushed rock notes, supported by firm, chewy tannins that glide along on the finish, unveiling subtle tiers of wilted rose, lavender, anise and blackberry.

Blue Farm began in 2001 when viticulturist Anne Moller – Racke planted seven acres of Pinot Noir behind her historic Victorian farmhouse in Sonoma. Anne designed the vineyard to produce one complete wine, blended from four clones.

In 2007, Anne helped her friend Timothy Mott with the planting and farming of his small vineyard of Pinot Noir, 1861, perched on a rocky hillside overlooking the town of Sonoma. A co-founder of Electronic Arts and executive of numerous start-ups, Tim and Anne then partnered in the expansion of Blue Farm.

Critically acclaimed winemaker Kenneth Juhasz has helped make Blue Farm’s small lot, single vineyard wines since 2003. Blue Farm focuses on Burgundian Grand Cru style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, drawing on Anne’s distinctive enological experience.

In 1981, Anne arrived from Germany to Sonoma, where she worked with legendary winemaker André Tchelistchef. For over three decades, Anne has been farming some of California’s most celebrated vineyards. In addition to her personal Blue Farm project, Anne is president and winegrower of 242 acres for The Donum Estate.

Living with the vineyard is the primary purpose of Anne’s craft. Her intuitive growing style develops wines of poise and power. Today, five Blue Farm vineyards reach from Sonoma’s Valley to its Coast and to the Russian River. Blue Farm wines reveal exceptional discoveries from lands graced with natural gifts.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

On the far western edge of the larger Sonoma Coast appellation, the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA hugs right up against the Pacific coast. Vineyards, planted at rugged elevations between 920 to 1,800 feet, occupy only two percent of the total land in the AVA. Fort Ross-Seaview growers believe that the region boasts an ideal mix of sunshine, cool air and beneficial stress for producing high quality Chardonnay and Pinot noir.
