Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its exotic character – this wine is as dramatic as the place where it is sourced.

Garys’ Vineyard has been a superb source of Pinot Noir ever since the first crop in 1999. The entire vineyard is planted to the Pisoni Selection of Pinot Noir, a suitcase clone from Burgundy. We are fortunate to get fruit from two different sections of Garys’ Vineyard – one at the top of the vineyard and the other near the very bottom. These sections are planted on different rootstocks, which produces a much more complex and interesting Pinot Noir.
