Mike Lucia, the owner of Rootdown Wine Cellars, recently bought the 150-acre Cole Ranch appellation for $2.7 million. The parcel of land, located near Ukiah, was listed by California Outdoor Properties for $3.3 million, the Sacramento Bee reported last year.
The Land Report named the transaction a Farmland Deal of the Year in its spring 2020 quarterly publication.
Cole Ranch is thought to be the smallest American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the country. The AVA has 55 acres of cabernet sauvignon (26.5 acres), pinot noir (10.2 acres), merlot (7 acres) and reisling (11.5 acres) vines in Mendocino County. Chardonnay grapes also are grown there.
Ohio native John Cole in the 1970s began planting vines in the AVA's microclimate between the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains. In 1983, "Cole Ranch became the only vineyard in the newly minted Ukiah AVA," according to The Land Report.
Lucia will be bottling his own wine and plans to "take advantage of the unique appellation," listing agent Todd Renfrew said.
