Marine Layer Wines is a longtime dream of visionary Baron Ziegler. Through years of working with friend and winemaker Rob Fischer at Banshee Wines, Baron knew that Rob would be the perfect guy to help make his dream a reality. Together, their vision of creating a Sonoma Coast-focused brand, exclusively sourced from only the best vineyards in the region, came to life.
The distinctive name, "Marine Layer," pays homage to the thick blanket of fog that pours in from the Pacific along the Sonoma Coast. Known for cooler temperatures and extreme conditions, growing grapes in this region is undoubtedly challenging, yet the most rewarding. Longer hang-time for the grapes results in nuanced flavors, bright acidity, and balance.
2021 Marine Layer Aries Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
A blended selection of barrels from our single vineyard Chardonnays, representing some of our favorite sub-AVAs within the Sonoma Coast. The Charles Heintz Vineyard & Bohemian Vineyard in the Green Valley sub-AVA, along with our very own Marine Layer Vineyard in Sebastopol Hills. Foggy, cool evenings, unique microclimates, and illustrious Goldridge soils define these sought-after sites. Pale straw in color with a nose that leaps from the glass, reminiscent of lemon curd, green apple, and hints of jasmine flower. On the palate, the wine bursts with a bright and brilliant array of citrus, from makrut lime to Meyer lemon peel, interwoven with an ever-present stony minerality. Its fresh acidity is complemented by a subtle hint of oak and marzipan from barrel age.

"Lemon twist, green apple, and faint white flowers followed by delightful flinty and saline minerality. Fresh cream, too. Medium-bodied, mouthwatering bright acidity. Wonderful vibrancy and brightness to it. Aged in 500L puncheon. A blend of fruit from 8 vineyards"

2021 Marine Layer Lyra Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
 The 2021 Lyra is layered, lifted, and bright, and in our opinion, the epitome of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Bright ruby in color with a nose of violets and rich red berries. The palate shows high-toned red fruits, with layers of red raspberry, cardamom, and citrus peel. With soft and integrated tannins, the 2021 Lyra is perfectly balanced with elegance. Winemaker's Notes
"Red cherries and wild strawberries followed by orange peel, kola nuts and baking spices. Medium-bodied, bright acidity with fascinating velvety and juicy tannins. Precisely framed and polished. Crunchy and vibrant. 30% whole-cluster. Aged in 25% new French oak barriques."
