About Boheme Wines
Boheme Wines is named for the bohemian life — the Parisian artistic freedom that Puccini immortalized in La Bohème, the world of artists who refuse conventional expectations in pursuit of authentic expression. Kurt Beitler's extreme Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir project declares the same freedom: wines made to express the most dramatically maritime sites in the appellation, without concessions to commercial accessibility.
The Occidental estate sources from vineyard sites in the most extreme western coastal zones of the Sonoma Coast — places where the Pacific's influence is so immediate and constant that the growing conditions border on inhospitable, requiring the vines to produce small, concentrated clusters of intense character. The resulting Pinot Noirs are among California's most dramatic cool-climate expressions.
Wine Advocate has scored Boheme's Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir at 92–95 points, recognizing the exceptional quality achievable from the appellation's most dramatically maritime sites.
