From the initial plantings more than 30 years ago, Flowers Vineyards & Winery has been inspired and defined by the Sonoma Coast.
Among the first to see the potential for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along the fog-shrouded Pacific Ocean, we have refined our understanding of our estate properties with each passing vintage. Sometimes referred to as the “far” Sonoma Coast, our rugged, windswept vineyards represent extreme viticulture in the pursuit of crafting wines representative of time and place.

Working in agricultural isolation on the edge of the coast, just north of the town of Jenner, is done with a very specific goal in mind…to present a pure expression of one of the world’s truly exceptional places to make wine. Our organic practices emphasize our approach as stewards of the land, resulting in healthier vines and higher quality soils. Our commitment to stewardship along with our organic and biodynamic farming practices have been unwavering constants of our winemaking philosophy since our inception.


The Estate Vineyard Immersion: A focused tasting exploration of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from our iconic estate vineyards, Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge. Hosted in a private space within our lush gardens or intimate interior spaces, this in-depth tasting of four wines from extreme coastal sites is accompanied by elevated food pairing bites crafted by our in-house culinary team. This experience is for four guests.

This lot features a rare Jeroboam (5L) of 2015 Château Montrose

The uniqueness and rarity of the lot on offer lies first and foremost in its origin. In addition to the level of excellence displayed by this second Grand Cru Classé, we find here a bottle of singular size: a 5 litre Jeroboam in a wooden case. The 2015 vintage is one of the most successful of the last decade at Château Montrose. It shines with brilliance and illustrates all the beauty of the Montrose terroir in a sunny vintage. It has a deep colour and an expressive, elegant nose that reveals notes of white flowers. When shaken, more complex aromas of ripe black fruit emerge. On the palate, the attack is frank and elegant, velvety with silky tannins. The wine is beautifully balanced and very fine and well-defined.
