African-American vineyard in California wine country!
Esterlina Vineyards
A Family Affair

About Us ...
The Sterling Family has been making wine for several generations. As California farmers with over 30 years of experience, we have carefully selected each of our vineyards.

Our father believes wine making is all about the land and vineyard cultivation. Esterlina's careful vineyard selection is the start of exceptional wines. Special attention is paid to the climate, soil conditions and geography of each vineyard site. We prefer the "small quantity, high quality" style of winemaking, and we use fruit from premier appellations—appellations well-suited for growing the various wines we offer.

Unique to Esterlina Vineyards is our 253-acre Cole Ranch appellation - the smallest appellation in America. There, we grow Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Our vineyard is the sole vineyard in this unique appellation.
