Characterized by its cool climate, the Los Carneros AVA is moderated by maritime influences from two distinct sources. One major source of influence is the San Pablo Bay to the South and the other is the Pacific Ocean to the Northwest by way of the Petaluma Gap. Stretched across the southern reaches of Sonoma and Napa County this growing region is known for producing world-class wines. The fruit for this wine was primarily sourced from Carneros Hills close to the cooling breezes of San Pablo Bay.
