Scar of the Sea Pinot Noir SLO Coast 2025

Country: USA

Region: SLO Coast

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Pinot Noir

This wine is a blend of the Bassi Vineyard & Casa Contenta Vineyard both in Avila Beach, the Chene Vineyard and  Marfarm Vineyard in the Edna Valley, and also includes a small amount of Pinot Noir from Scar of the Sea's Mountain Meadow Vineyard in the northern part of the SLO Coast AVA. 

Bassi, Casa Contenta, Chene, and Mountain Meadow are all vineyards where they farm certified Biodynamic and the fruit from Marfarm is farmed with organic farming practices. The wine is fermented in small 1.5 ton boxes with native yeast & bacteria, with 10-20% whole-cluster. After fermentation, the wine is pressed in a small wooden basket press then aged for 7 months in old french oak barrels.  The wine is racked for the first time to blend for bottling, without fining or filtration, and with minimal sulfur used.  

Bright red fruit, with crunchy acidity, coastal herbs, and a touch of earthiness.
