Sea Sun Pinot Noir California

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

A glass of Sea Sun Pinot Noir California instantly draws you in with its vibrant aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and a subtle hint of baking spice that lingers on the nose. Crafted in the United States, this expressive red wine showcases the classic character of California Pinot Noir—silky tannins, bright acidity, and layers of juicy red fruit balanced by a touch of earthiness. With an alcohol by volume of 14.30%, it offers just enough warmth to complement its lush texture without overpowering your palate. Sea Sun Pinot Noir shines alongside dishes like salmon or mushroom risotto, where its lively fruit notes and gentle oak influence elevate every bite and sip into a harmonious experience.

Producer Information: Wagner Family of Wine

Wagner Family of Wine, rooted in Napa Valley’s Rutherford district, traces its origins to 1972 when Charlie Wagner Sr., his wife Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, and their son Chuck established Caymus Vineyards on family land that had been farmed since the early 1900s. Their philosophy centers on meticulous vineyard selection and low-intervention winemaking, allowing the unique terroir of Napa Valley to express itself in every bottle. Beyond their flagship Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, the Wagners have expanded their portfolio with Mer Soleil Chardonnay from Santa Lucia Highlands, Conundrum blends that highlight California’s diverse grape sources, Emmolo Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc from Suisun Valley and Napa respectively, and Red Schooner Malbec sourced from Mendoza grapes but vinified in California. This multi-generational family continues to shape category-specific excellence by focusing on site-driven wines that reflect both tradition and innovation across key Californian appellations.
