Flywheel

Flywheel operates in California's Central Coast, drawing from the San Francisco Bay region's cool maritime influences. The winery focuses on Pinot Noir and Mourvedre, grapes that thrive in the area's moderate temperatures and diurnal shifts. Its Naylor Ranch Pinot Noir and Brosseau Vineyard Pinot Noir—both rated 90–91 points by Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast—demonstrate the region's capacity for structured, elegant expressions of the variety. The Boer Vineyard Mourvèdre, equally rated at 91 points, reflects the winery's engagement with varietals suited to the Bay Area's terroir. These wines anchor Flywheel's portfolio, each sourced from distinct vineyard sites that shape their character.
