In 1998, Helen Turley — then winemaker for Jayson Pahlmeyer — discovered a 30-acre site down the road from her Marcassin vineyard on a remote Fort Ross-Seaview ridge and told Pahlmeyer it was destined to become "the La Tâche of California." Pahlmeyer bought it. Now under winemaker Thomas Brown, Wayfarer produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of extraordinary density and coastal intensity from Goldridge soils at elevations of 1,100–1,500 feet. Production is extremely limited, allocation by mailing list. One of California's most coveted coastal estates.
