Sea Sun Pinot Noir 2022

The 2022 Sea Sun Pinot Noir is a strikingly soft, lush, and approachable red wine crafted by Charlie Wagner of the renowned Wagner Family of Wines (the creators of Caymus). Sourced from premier ocean-cooled coastal regions across California, it benefits from an extended growing season that develops heightened complexity. It presents a bountiful deep ruby hue and opens with an inviting bouquet of baked cherries, dark plum, and red licorice, layered with warm vanilla, brown sugar, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and fruit-forward, showcasing an intense and creamy texture reminiscent of ripe cherry pie filling. Balanced by a gentle, food-friendly acidity and soft, silky tannins, it trails off into a long, plush finish that evokes the rich taste of milk chocolate and sweet baking spices.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto, carnitas tacos, or a charcuterie board featuring mild cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
