2024 Scar of the Sea Pinot Noir SLO Coast Wine

The 2024 Scar of the Sea Pinot Noir from the San Luis Obispo Coast is a vibrant and expressive wine that captures the cool-climate character of California’s coastal vineyards. Crafted from organically and biodynamically farmed sites, including Bassi and Marfarm vineyards, the wine was fermented with native yeasts and a touch of whole clusters before aging in neutral French oak to preserve purity and freshness. It opens with bright aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, and cranberry, layered with hints of rose petal, coastal herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is elegant and finely textured, showing lively acidity, silky tannins, and a delicate saline minerality that reflects its ocean-influenced terroir. This Pinot Noir is both graceful and energetic, pairing beautifully with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, wild mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses, and it will continue to develop complexity over the next few years.
