In 2001, two generations of the Cobb family came together to explore a shared passion for Pinot Noir. David and Diane were pioneers of the far Sonoma Coast when they planted Coastlands Vineyard with their son Ross in 1989. After spending nearly a decade honing his winemaking skills, Ross approached his parents with the idea of founding Cobb Wines with a vision that would allow the family to guide every step of the process, from the farming of the vineyard to the crafting of a style that celebrated the site. The first vintage of Coastlands Vineyard Pinot Noir was a mere 130 cases. Today, Ross both farms Coastlands Vineyard and lives on the property with his wife and daughter.

Cobb Wines prides itself on wines that represent the places in which they were grown. Their ethos is centered around three Estate Vineyards, a focus on cool climate sites, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling.
