Perched on the windswept West Sonoma Coast, Platt Vineyard is a 43-acre jewel rooted in ancient Goldridge soils, dedicated to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. For more than twenty years, Platt fruit has gone into some of the Coast’s most sought-after wines. Now, for the very first time, we are thrilled to share Estate bottlings under our own label.
These wines reflect both the purity of the coast and the depth of character that make this vineyard truly world-class—and we can’t wait for you to experience them. THE OFFERING
“California does not have a formal system for ranking vineyards. If it did, there is no question Platt would be a Grand Cru.”
The pricing strategy is interesting. The “entry level” is competitive with other high end wineries base level offerings (Occidental, Littorai, Dumol, etc) but is still all estate fruit (and looks like good initial critic reviews). The reserve on the other hand is priced higher than any of those by $20 (even more for the chardonnay).
I’m usually not one for scores, but as this is a brand new winery, I’m looking for any information. I don’t subscribe to any paid reviews. I finally found this:
The pricing on these feels really high to me. I know the press is strong, but there is a lot of really established, high quality wines available for a lot less.
To each his own on pricing but IIRC Ferren was similar out of the gates. Allen Vineyard was slightly more and this is being sold at a discount to RM Platt Vineyard wines. Not saying I’m a buyer but pricing seems fair for the pedigree.
I would disagree. Allen vineyard isnt doing a reserve and 2nd wine. They are potentially using all there best grapes for their wine at 75, not 145. Does RM source their chard and pinot from the “reserve blocks”? If so they are charging 75, not 145.
None of them. I was referring to their Sonoma Coast appellation wine from Ferren which was around $65 and I am comparing it to the less expensive Platt wine (not the reserve). Make sense?

What Ferren wine was $145?

Allen has a long track record. Allen grapes went to Rochioli and William Selyem They chose to keep some grapes for themselves. Their daughter and her husband, both winemakers, are using Allen grapes to make an amazing Pinot… Great nose I could sniff for hours, some
how both full body and elegant. $70 per not $145. Get on this mailing list.
