The North Coast includes Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Lake counties. The link below shows the crop size and grape prices for the last few years. You'll see that the harvest for 2018 was abnormally large and a reason many are saying there's a glut of wine.
The prices for grapes will help with understanding bottle prices. For instance, look at the price of Napa cabernet compared to the others. And you can see that, in general, grapes from the lesser-known Mendocino and Lake counties are much cheaper.
