Sea Sun Pinot Noir 2021

Produced by Charlie Wagner, Sea Sun 2021 Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes sourced from California’s cool-climate coastal vineyards. The Wagners come from a long line of Napa Valley wine grape growers and winemakers dating back to the 1850s. They’re also the family who produce the coveted Caymus wines. Sea Sun is dry, medium-plus-bodied and creamy on the palate with dark berry, dark cherry, loamy earth, baking and pepper spice flavours with a kiss of vanilla and vibrant acidity on the palate. Just lovely with a roast duck or turkey dinner. Drink: 2023-2028. Score – 90. (nataliemaclean.com, Sept. 23, 2023)
