This Syrah comes from Mikey and Gina Giugni's Bassi Vineyard in San Luis Obispo, CA, 1.2 miles from the Pacific Ocean - this is true coastal Syrah! Fermented with native yeast and 100% whole cluster, this wine was pressed in a traditional wooden basket press and aged for 10 months in a combination of large barrels. Think purple flowers, black olive, cracked black pepper with fresh tannins. This Syrah begs for a delicious meal.  Only 72 cases produced.

Delicious With

Due to its structure, this wine pairs best with intense, rich, or smoky dishes. Think grilled lamb with rosemary, grilled steak (rib-eye or flat iron), lamb gyros, or bacon-topped meatloaf.
Great with BBQ and smoked foods. The smoky, peppery notes in the wine hold up well against barbecue ribs, pork shoulder, or smoked sausages. For a great vegetarian option, pair with grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms, or roasted root vegetables to highlight the wine's earthy undertones. Just avoid too much salt, as this will sour the wine.

Their Cred

Scar of the Sea was established in 2012 and is owned and operated by Mikey & Gina Giugni in San Luis Obispo, CA. What began as a grassroots journey - leasing small coastal vineyard sites - has grown into a deeper relationship between farming and the land.

In July 2024, Mikey and Gina found their forever farm - the 29-acre Bassi Vineyard in Avila Beach, nestled in the heart of the SLO Coast AVA, one mile from the Pacific Ocean. This coastal site, farmed using regenerative and biodynamic principles, is now their home vineyard. With it, they now steward 42 acres in total, over 4 different vineyard sites, with their small team.

All the wines are made naturally - with native yeast, no adjustments, and bottled unfiltered. They have embraced a solera system for their white wines - a quiet, evolving conversation between vintages and the passage of time.

Every wine is a reflection of place, an echo of the coast, and a story they're still learning to tell. They make wines for themselves first - pure, honest, and rooted in the beauty of the California Central Coast. The goal is simple - to share the story of the land through their wines.
