MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards is one of the most panoramically view-rewarding and Sonoma Coast cool-climate-specifically-committed wine estates in the Healdsburg wine corridor. Steve MacRostie established his wine program in 1987 with a specific conviction that the Sonoma Coast's most Pacific-proximate and wind-influenced cool growing environments produced Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of individually distinctive maritime mineral character.

The MacRostie winery building — set on the Westside Road hillside with glass walls designed to frame the sweeping Dry Creek Valley panorama — provides one of the most architecturally view-intentionally-designed appointments in Sonoma County. The Wildcat Mountain single-vineyard Chardonnay — from Steve MacRostie's most carefully identified Sonoma Coast estate block — and the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay demonstrate with unusual clarity how different Sonoma County growing environments express the same Burgundy variety when minimal-intervention winemaking allows each source to speak.

Wine Spectator has consistently scored MacRostie's Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at 91–95 points, confirming that the most panoramically view-rewarding and Sonoma Coast cool-climate-specifically-committed Healdsburg estate produces wine of genuine critical quality alongside its extraordinary Dry Creek Valley panoramic views.
