County Line

County Line has been a companion label to Radio-Coteau since 2003, originating in a desire to reflect the cool-climate appellations of Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast, Russian River and North Coast. Its wines are made by the Radio-Coteau team, led by winegrower and proprietor Eric Sussman. The label’s first vintage was devoted solely to dry rosé from a whole-cluster pressed Champagne clone of Pinot Noir, with other varietals following. County Line partners with growers in Mendocino and Sonoma committed to organic farming, and follows organic and holistic farming practices that promote biodiversity in the vineyards and on its farm. In the cellar, the team uses low-intervention winemaking techniques and a shorter élevage in neutral French oak barrels, concrete eggs or stainless steel.
