Scar of the Sea SLO Coast Estate Grenache Bassi Ranch 2025

Planted just twelve hundred feet from the surf on steep sandstone and shale slopes, this estate bottling trades high alcohol for high tonality and coastal verve. Fermented whole cluster with native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak puncheons, it opens with pale ruby clarity and a nose of wild raspberry, crushed rose, sea spray, and cracked white pepper. The palate is weightless yet structured, driven by a crisp, high acid backbone and the finest of tannins that make it a natural pairing for chilled duck breast, herb crusted pork, or wild mushroom tarts.
