SeaGlass Pinot Noir 2021

This Pinot Noir is a quintessential expression of Central Coast cool-climate vines, with it's elegant, light-bodied style. Delicate aromas hint at the bright red cherry and strawberry flavors on the palate. Beautifully balanced with vibrant acidity, this wine is the ideal complement for grilled salmon, lamb and earthy mushrooms.

Los Alamos Vineyard rests just 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara County, parallel to the region’s unusual east-west coastal range, whose valleys usher wind and fog across the vines each day. Perhaps most notable for its soil, Los Alamos is comprised almost entirely of sand. The soil heats up quickly, initiating bud beak earlier than neighboring sites and affording the grapes more time to develop their signature concentrated flavors.

A minimalist approach to winemaking preserved the fresh, bright character of our Pinot Noir fruit from vineyard to bottle. Following harvest, the grapes were cold soaked for 24 hours, allowing for greater extraction of color and flavor during fermentation. The wine was aged with French and American oak, which add complexity and compliment the fruit in this coastal Pinot Noir.
