In the summer of 2012, Radio-Coteau acquired a historic 100-acre Estate Vineyard and ranch on a hill above the town of Occidental. Originally known as Joseph Morelli & Sons before Prohibition, the Lemorel Winery (as it later became known) dates back to 1892, when the first vines were planted. The estate is half a mile and has a very diverse agro-ecosystem based on the prized Goldridge soil. The old Syrah Zinfandel has been preserved, and the existing area has recently been replanted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This winery is now one of the absolute top from California - Mendocino
