Information about Esterlina Vineyards...

Esterlina Vineyards is a family-owned, California boutique winery located near the Mendocino coast, nestled in the highlands above Philo.

We produce a variety of exceptional fine wines in limited quantities from grapes grown primarily in our family's own vineyards. We produce wines from our vineyards in five different appellations, such as the Anderson Valley, and Cole Ranch. In fact, Esterlina owns the only vineyard in the Cole Ranch Appellation, which is America’s smallest American Viticultural Area (AVA).

Esterlina wines are handcrafted--there is no assembly line manufacturing case after case. Our family grows the grapes, makes the wine, and bottles each varietal we offer. While the wine conglomerates offer similar varietals, few wineries make their wines the way we do: bottle by bottle. From our world-class, award-winning Russian River Valley and Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs, to our sought after Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, wine enthusiasts love Esterlina wines. Call us before visiting our tasting room and enjoy a great wine tasting with stunning views of the Anderson Valley.

The Sterling Family has been making wine for several generations. As California farmers with over 30 years of experience, we have carefully selected each of our vineyards.

Our father believes wine making is all about the land and vineyard cultivation. Esterlina's careful vineyard selection is the start of exceptional wines. Special attention is paid to the climate, soil conditions and geography of each vineyard site. We prefer the "small quantity, high quality" style of winemaking, and we use fruit from premier appellations—appellations well-suited for growing the various wines we offer.

Unique to Esterlina Vineyards is our 253-acre Cole Ranch appellation - the smallest appellation in America. There, we grow Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Our vineyard is the sole vineyard in this unique appellation.

The gravelly soils of the Esterlina Alexander Valley Ranch produce some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon in the region. One taste of this luscious cab with an up front cherry flavor and a silky finish verifies that the vines chosen for this soil are a perfect match.

Our Sterling Family vineyard, in the cool Russian River Valley was chosen to produce a classic Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Many of you have enjoyed our award-winning Estate Pinot Noir from our Anderson Valley property. We also grow a bit of Chardonnay on the Esterlina Estate property.  

We appreciate the loyalty our customers have shown us over the years. We are particularly heartened that Esterlina’s growth has come from word-of-mouth marketing.  We hope you--our customers--will continue to enjoy our California wines.
