Premium Wines, Olive Oil, Handcrafted Vinegars, Oh MY! A Visit to BR Cohn Winery

March 25, 2016 · by Amy Lieberfarb ·

Sampling wine, specialty foods and olive oils while lounging on a picturesque wine country estate. Yes, please.

BR Cohn Winery offers all of these… and more.

Tucked away down a long drive lined with ancient olive oil trees and row after row of vines, is a renovated 1920’s ranch house at the top of the hill.

DSC_0504_04This is the piece of property where Bruce Cohn decided to live and raise his family.  The current wine tasting room and winery offices are an expansion of the original ranch house.

Vineyards surround the buildings. In among the vineyards and olive trees are patio areas, benches and views galore all available for you to enjoy… with a glass of wine in hand I hope! The estate contains over 450 Picholine Olive Trees dating back to the mid-1800’s that offer wonderful muted shade as you stroll the walkways.

“Our winemaking philosophy, is to produce wine that is an expression of the land we farm and the vineyards we receive grapes from. We make wine to preserve and enhance the character of each grape variety and vineyard we harvest.”

Another thing that you will surely find are award winning gourmet estate olive oils, vinegars and specialty gourmet food products.

Enjoying the grounds of BR Cohn is an informal experience, yet without a compromise on the quality. We sampled a unique selection of foods and charcuterie options.

DSCF0643Looking for food items not sold in grocery stores? Stop in at the BR Cohn Store to purchase locally made and handcrafted food products with a wine country twist. Samples are available, making selection easier.

If you love savory, sweet goodness, try some of the charcuterie available with the choice of local spreads. If you want to drink fabulous wine and smile so big you’ll crave a few more days of it…. surely you should…ask for another pour.

DSCF0595The pathways, trees and vines that lead you around the grounds make up a stunning spread of property. It is home to a tasting room, winery, barrel room, amphitheater, olive groves, and perfectly tended vineyards.

Weddings, retreats, private parties, corporate and wine events are all held in this bucolic setting.

Take one of their diverse walking tours — forks, corks and happiness in hand. Introduce yourself to the family history and learn more about what makes the property itself so special to Sonoma County.

DSCF0657Still feeling hungry? Not to worry.

BR Cohn is a place to showcase the area, where people can drink wine and picnic right in the middle of the vineyard.

Sit in chairs that looked over the Chardonnay vines to watch flowers and mustard seed come to the hills beyond.

On weekends there are food options from local vendors as well as live music.

DSCF0582Whether you’re up for a laid-back vacation in beautiful surroundings or you want to experience the charms of a winery set in northern California with family or friends…

BR Cohn is an appealing destination.

My Favorite Times to Visit The Estate are:

OYSTER SUNDAYS!

DSC02407Sundays at B.R. Cohn are a perfect way to cap your weekend. Mar 6 – October 30, 2016… Sit back under the olive trees with fresh oysters from Tomales Bay prepared how you like, a favorite glass of wine and enjoy the live music.

My Favorite Wines were:

2011 BLOCK 7 CABERNET SAUVIGNON by BR COHN

brc-2011-select-block-7-caberenet-sauvignonA dark rich Cabernet packed with aromas of candied cherry, plum, cassis, and pomegranate. The aromas marry with a powerful spiced oak bouquet of sweet vanilla caramel, pine, rosemary and anise. Big round tannin and bright cherry and berry flavors lead to a long sweet finish.
Block 7 is the oldest of the Entav clone plantings at B.R. Cohn in the late 90’s. It sits at the top of our Fox Hill, below Sonoma Mountain and has very good drainage, reliable breezes off the mountain, and sparse rocky soil. These conditions produce enough stress to keep yields low, and berries small and concentrated.

2014 SAUVIGNON BLANC by BR COHN

brc-2014-sauvignon-blancOur Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from the finest vineyards in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County and Napa Valley. 66% Sonoma County & 34% Napa County. This combination produces a complex wine with mature cool climate aromas and flavors. 70% barrel fermented and aged in 3 year air-dried tight grain French oak barrels. 30% tank fermented to retain varietal character. This wine offers enticing aromas of citrus, green melon, and mineral with a hint of toasty oak and flavors of grapefruit and honeydew.
