Tasting Note:
The 2024 SLO Coast Pinot Noir from Scar of the Sea captures the essence of California’s newest coastal AVA. Aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, and pomegranate mingle with sea spray, rose petals, and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and savory, with bright red fruit, citrus zest, and herbal notes framed by fine tannins and racy acidity. A saline minerality and delicate structure reflect its proximity to the Pacific, leading to a long, energetic finish. This Pinot is all about coastal freshness, transparency, and drinkability.
