Sea Sun California Pinot Noir

Sea Sun California Pinot Noir — A Coastal Classic in Every Glass

Crafted by the Wagner Family Legacy

Sea Sun California Pinot Noir is a stunning example of what happens when coastal vineyards and a winemaking family’s experience come together. Made by the Wagner family — the same renowned name behind iconic wines like Caymus — Sea Sun celebrates the beauty of California’s sunlit coast and fog-kissed vineyards. By sourcing grapes from prime coastal regions, including Monterey, Solano, and San Benito Counties, Sea Sun achieves a Pinot Noir that is as refreshing as an ocean breeze yet deeply flavorful and smooth.

A Pinot That Embodies Sea and Sun

The name says it all: Sea Sun is inspired by the gentle interplay between the cooling sea mist and the generous California sunshine. This balance allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing ripe fruit character while retaining the bright acidity that makes Pinot Noir so wonderfully versatile.

Each vineyard lot is handled with care — grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, fermented slowly, and aged with a gentle touch of oak to enhance complexity without overpowering the delicate fruit.

Tasting Notes — Lush, Silky, and Refreshing

Appearance: Bright ruby in the glass with delicate garnet edges that hint at its finesse.

Aroma: Fresh notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and strawberry unfold first. Subtle layers of baking spice, vanilla bean, and a touch of earth add warmth and intrigue.

Palate: Plush red berry flavors dominate the palate — juicy cherry, hints of cranberry, and a whisper of cocoa. There’s a creamy roundness balanced by lively acidity and supple tannins that give this wine a silky, elegant texture.

Finish: Long and pleasing, leaving behind gentle notes of cherry pie, spice, and a whisper of toasted oak.
