Cole Ranch AVA

Cole Ranch AVA is America's smallest appellation located in Mendocino County, California, consisting of only about 60 acres owned by a single proprietor. Situated in a high-elevation valley with significant diurnal temperature variation, this cool-climate region produces exceptional Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The vineyard's isolation and distinctive microclimate create wines with unique character, though production quantities remain extremely limited.
