About The Producer
Marine Layer Wines is the realization of a long-held vision by Baron Ziegler, brought to life through his partnership with winemaker Rob Fischer. Their collaboration began during their years at Banshee Wines, where Baron recognized Rob’s skill and passion as the ideal match for creating a Sonoma Coast-focused brand. Together, they embarked on a mission to craft wines exclusively from the region’s finest vineyards, reflecting their deep commitment to Sonoma’s unique terroir.
Guided by discovery, precision, and creativity, Marine Layer’s approach is both artisanal and sustainable. The team emphasizes heritage clones, hand-harvesting, and meticulous farming practices to produce wines that balance elegance with approachability. The name “Marine Layer” honors the thick coastal fog that defines the Sonoma Coast, where challenging conditions and cooler temperatures extend grape hang-time. This results in wines with bright acidity, refined complexity, and a harmonious expression of the region’s character.
