SEA SUN PINOT NOIR 19

The “sea” is the Pacific Ocean, with its cooling breezes and gusts of wind. The “sun” is a balancing presence, its warmth shining down day after day. These two forces shape “Sea Sun,” a California wine whose character speaks to the unique terrain where it is grown near the coast – Santa Barbara County, Monterey County, and the little-known Solano County, where the land we farm bears the maritime influence of San Francisco Bay. Our goal with Sea Sun is to combine the unique qualities of each of the premier regions where it is sourced. While Monterey, Santa Barbara and Solano Counties share a coastal climate, they span several hundred miles and feature subtle differences.

Tasting Notes:
A beautiful deep red, this wine features scents of baked cherries, toasted wood and fresh out of the oven baguette, mint hints of cran berry and flinty graphite. On the palate, there is an intensity of creaminess to the fruit, evoking the ripe richness of pie filling. Toasted oak and vanilla add intriguing layers, while grippy tannins create depth and dimension. The finish tapers off with this wine’s lush fruit.
