Cotati Hills
SONOMA COAST
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Cotati Hills is situated on the Southern side of Sonoma Mountain, not far from Premier Pacific Vineyards’ Gap’s Crown® vineyard. Like Gap’s Crown®, Cotati Hills is heavily influenced by the cool ocean breezes that penetrate this section of the Sonoma Coast AVA through the Petaluma Wind Gap. Cotati Hills is comprised of blocks ranging in elevation from 800' to 1200' above sea level, situated on extremely rocky and well-drained Goulding Series soils.
