Scar of the Sea's 2024 Pinot Noir is a biodynamic, small-batch wine from California's coastal vineyards, including Bassi and Rancho Ontiveros. Crafted by Mikey and Gina Giugni, this Pinot Noir showcases the influence of the Pacific Ocean on the grapes. The wine is fermented with native yeast and aged in neutral oak barrels, resulting in a vibrant profile with notes of red fruits, earth, and subtle spice. With minimal intervention and no added sulfur, it offers a pure expression of its coastal terroir.

The label prominently features a quote from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the quintessential American maritime novel whose themes of the sea's power and the relationship between man and nature align perfectly with a winery dedicated to expressing how the ocean shapes their wines. This sophisticated literary reference signals the winemakers' thoughtfulness and reverence for the sea's influence on their craft.
