Scar of the Sea - Bassi Vineyard Pinot Noir (2021)
SLO Coast, San Luis Obispo County, California
About this Wine
The 2021 Bassi Vineyard Pinot Noir is produced from 22 year old Dijon Clone vines at the Bassi Vineyard, located on the hillsides of Avila Valley, 1 mile from Avila Beach. The vineyard is farmed by Ben Taylor with organic practices and it is in transition to biodynamic certification. This bottling is a unique snapshot of coastal California, some of the closest vines to the Pacific Ocean in California. The fruit was fermented with native yeast and 70% whole-cluster. The wine was pressed once dry in a wooden basket press then aged for 10 months in neutral french oak barrels.
Think candied strawberry, citrus peel, maraschino cherries, and worn leather.
Pairs well with chicken and turkey.
