“COMMENTARY: The 2021 Sea Sun by Charlie Wagner Pinot Noir is ripe, soft, and smooth on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of dried herbs, earthy notes, and wood. Enjoy it with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: December 11, 2022, San Francisco, CA)”-WW

“Sea Sun Pinot Noir has aromas of cherry, light toasted wood, dry earth, clove and a hint of s'mores. The flavors echo the cherry on the nose, with raspberry on the finish. Bright and fruit-driven, with lush cherries and a strikingly soft texture.”-Winemaker Notes

“Led by Owner and Winemaker Charlie Wagner, Sea Sun Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are created from the singular beauty and character of the California coast. The regions where Sea Sun is sourced have included Monterey, Santa Barbara and Solano Counties. Solano is home to the “hidden gem” of Suisun Valley -- only a 30-minute drive southeast of Napa, Suisun shares a similar maritime climate and is capable of producing outstanding grapes.
All of the coastal regions where we source grapes for Sea Sun provide ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with cooling ocean breezes and an extended growing season that leads to heightened complexity in the wine. These regions also feature subtle differences – as a result, Sea Sun wines are layered with aromas and flavors, holding broad appeal for a wide range of palates.”-Winery Notes
