Tasting Notes:
Hazy pink-orange in the glass with a lifted, coastal energy. Aromas of wild strawberry, peach skin, sea spray, and dried herbs lead to a textured and zippy palate. Notes of blood orange, rose hips, and salty minerality meet a subtle tannic grip and electric acidity. Refreshing, expressive, and quietly wild.

Food Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, summer salads, prosciutto & melon, or sushi. Serve chilled, and don’t be afraid to let it open up in the glass.

About the Producer:
Scar of the Sea is a Central Coast project led by Mikey and Gina Giugni, focused on honest, site-driven wines from coastal California vineyards. Their wines—often native-fermented and minimally handled—channel the freshness of the Pacific and a reverence for place. This Pinot Gris & Pinot Noir blend from Bassi Vineyard is a perfect example of their balance between precision and play.
