Situated four miles from the Pacific Ocean on California’s Central Coast, The Vineyard at Monarch Dunes is among the cooler micro-climates on the West Coast. The eight-acre, marine-influenced vineyard produces small amounts of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that thrive in the sandy soil for which the area is renowned. The cool mornings and evenings, and warm, sunny afternoons, create the ideal conditions for elegant fruit, and silky tannins that are the hallmark of the wines.
