Esterlina Vineyards & Winery
The Esterlina estate Pinot Noir vineyard sits on a ridge commanding a sweeping view of the Anderson Valley. This property was the site of the former Pepperwood Springs Winery, was purchased by the Sterling family in 2000, and renamed Esterlina (Spanish for sterling). the Sterlings have successfully diversified their vineyard holdings and now produce several outstanding wines from Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Esterlina is a tight-knit family operation under the direction of father Murio and his sons. Eric Sterling, M.D., is both a practicing emergency room physician and the winemaker and has an impressive touch with Pinot Noir. Tasting is by appointment. Esterlina wines are sold on the website. Besides the Pinot Noirs, the Cole Ranch Riesling is outstanding. The 2+ mile drive up a winding road is worth the trip to the winery as the Sterlings are warm hosts. 1200 Holmes Ranch Road, Philo.
