Sea Smoke Ten Pinot Noir 2023 1.5 Liter Magnum

Sea Smoke Ten Pinot Noir 2023 1.5 Liter Magnum Sea Smoke Cellars is a Californian winery in Santa Barbara County that focuses on premium Pinot Noir. The estate was established in 1999 by Bob Davids in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. Its production is relatively small and mostly distributed through its mailing list. The name of the winery was inspired by the cooling marine fog that is carried into the vineyards along the Santa Ynez River. All the grapes used in Sea Smoke wines come from the estate vineyard. The property has 40 hectares (98 acres) of vines planted with ten different Pinot Noir clones as well as 4ha (10 acres) of Chardonnay. Critical Acclaim 94 Wine Enthusiast This wine borders on being too exuberant and juicy, so exemplary it is as a pure expression of fruit. Aromas of cherry, violet and hibiscus lure the nose deeply into the glass. The palate goes even more jubilant with candied strawberry and Bing cherry flavors, with hints of mace and star anise that press all the hedonism buttons.
