Radio-Coteau

In 2002, winegrower and proprietor Eric Sussman established Radio-Coteau, focusing on the north coast vineyards of western Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. In the summer of 2012, Radio-Coteau acquired an historic 42-acre estate vineyard and ranch located on a ridgetop above the town of Occidental.

The estate vineyard is situated 800 feet above sea level on Goldridge soil. The grapes grown include Syrah, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, with established blocks of Syrah and old-vine Zinfandel alongside replanted acreage of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Radio-Coteau utilizes both organic and Biodynamic farming practices to build the health of the soil and the surrounding ecosystem. The winery has been Demeter Certified Biodynamic since 2008, and the estate vineyard and farm has been Demeter Certified Biodynamic since 2018. Radio-Coteau crafts wines of origin utilizing low-intervention winemaking practices.
