Ultramarine
Ultramarine produces Pinot Noir and rosé from Sonoma Coast, a region defined by cool maritime influence and fog-tempered growing seasons. The winery's portfolio centers on this single varietal—a choice that reflects the region's natural alignment with Pinot Noir's demands for moderate ripening and bright acidity. The Heintz Vineyard Rosé and Blanc de Noirs showcase the versatility of Pinot Noir across dry styles, while the core Pinot Noir expresses the coastal terroir's characteristic elegance. Decanter and Wine Advocate have rated these wines at the highest levels, affirming their technical precision and balance. Sonoma Coast's maritime character—cool nights, morning fog, and well-draining soils—creates conditions where Pinot Noir develops complexity without excess alcohol, a signature of the appellation's finest producers.
