The Calling
The Calling produces wines from Sonoma County's North Coast region, where cool maritime influence shapes the character of cool-climate varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, drawing from designated vineyard sites. The Sunny View Vineyard Pinot Noir demonstrates the region's capacity for structured, elegant expressions of the variety. Chardonnay appears across two offerings: the Sullivan Vineyard bottling and the Single Vineyards Series, each capturing distinct terroir signatures. Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Advocate have assessed the winery's releases, reflecting the quality benchmarks established by these flagship wines. Sonoma County's diverse microclimates and well-drained soils support the precision required for these cool-climate varietals, where acidity and mineral tension define the finished wines.
