Flowers Vineyards & Winery

Established in 1991 by Joan and Walt Flowers, pioneers of the Sonoma Coast, their vision is continued today by head winemaker Chantal Forthun.

She is meticulous in her pursuit to make exceptional and truly exciting wines from these remote sites. 

Jeremy Seysses, of Domaine Dujac, has been consulting in recent vintages and has helped Chantal fine tune her winemaking for this unique terroir. The overall impression is that everything has been dialled back (conversely, less whole bunch) and there is now more focus on the purity of fruit. Indigenous fermentations, less maceration for the reds and a reduction in new oak have all led to greater precision and refinement in the wines. Organic and biodynamic farming is used and minimal intervention is the philosophy in the cellar.
