Radio-Coteau ‘Wingtine’ Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast (2020)

Situated on the rugged ridges of the true Sonoma Coast, Radio-Coteau is a celebrated pioneer of organic and biodynamic winemaking. Founded by Eric Sussman, the estate champions a fiercely low-intervention philosophy, relying on native yeast fermentations and bottling unfined and unfiltered to preserve raw terroir expression. Focusing on cool-climate Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay, their meticulously farmed, single-vineyard releases are deeply textured and electrically vibrant. Translating to "word of mouth," Radio-Coteau delivers profoundly soulful, site-specific masterpieces that capture the cool, coastal energy of California with uncompromising purity and precision.

Sonoma County is California’s most dynamic wine region, defined by its rugged coastline, ancient redwood forests, and intricate patchwork of microclimates. Stretching from the fog-drenched Sonoma Coast to the sun-baked Alexander Valley, this expansive terroir is shaped by intense maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean. This dramatic cooling effect allows for a spectacular range of world-class wines, from electric, precision-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to structurally profound Cabernet Sauvignon and ancient-vine Zinfandel. Sonoma remains the soulful, agricultural heart of American winemaking, delivering masterpieces of breathtaking purity and terroir-driven elegance.
