Central Coast Pinot Noir and Syrah rooted in terroir and time.

Cottonwood Canyon produces Pinot Noir and Syrah from California's Central Coast, a region defined by cool maritime influence and complex terroir. Michelle's Hillside Signature Estate Pinot Noir and Sharon's Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir represent the winery's focus on this temperamental varietal, capturing the balance of ripe fruit and structural tension that the region's climate encourages. Estate Syrah Patience rounds out the portfolio, showcasing what Syrah can achieve in these conditions—a wine that reflects patience in both vineyard and cellar. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, with Michelle's Hillside Signature reaching 91 points and Sharon's Vineyard at 90.3. The Estate Syrah Patience scored 90. These scores reflect wines built on site-specific expression rather than formula.
