Seasmoke Southing

Sea Smoke

Southing Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2015 “Southing” pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and bruised strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, red flowers, mushroom and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Drink now through 2035. — a month ago

Young, needed decanting. Super strong at 14.7% vol, yet nice acidity. Felt tannic, not a traditional Pinot. Very hard to find! — 7 years ago

Heading out to Santa Barbara next month for 3 days. Can you recommend a few great vineyards to visit for a tasting? I'm a big fan of seasmoke and Paul Lato. Looks like you tried a lot of wine. Thanks. — 9 years ago

Botella Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2024

Much younger than the Southing and Ten, less time in oak but it’s pretty ready to drink now. Juicy cherry, Santa Rita spices, and mouthwatering acidity. — 2 months ago

Ten Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2015

Nice Cali Pinot. No burg barnyard but lovely - a hint of bramble berry on the nose with a Ho t of milk chocolate and tobacco. Smooth mouthfeel and a very long finish with an echo of delicate spice. Bravo #seasmoke — 6 years ago

Hit the wine jackpot on a work trip! One of two leftovers from the table next to me! Excellent Pinot. Lots of fruit and doesn't taste like a classic Pinot. Smokey wine indeed! — 8 years ago

Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2013

I'm either in love with this Chard or the company BOTH! Al. Kidding aside this wine's nose is intoxicating faint grass then gives away to pineapple with vanilla crime brûlée tropical! On the palate rich mouth coating with great citrus maybe a warm lemon curd with a salty flaky crust, very balanced tannins already integrated in this chard. Well done Seasmoke! — 11 years ago

Duca di Salaparuta

Nawàri Vajasindi Pinot Nero

This wine is the Nawari (not found on Delectable) Intense Pinot Nero. Like a super ripe Cali Seasmoke on steroids, with a healthy dose of smoky volcanic ash. Enjoyable but big, big, big! And not especially complex...but fun and interesting just the same... — 7 years ago

Mother’s Day wine for Judy. Ok I had some as well. Not quite as fruit forward as is normal for Seasmoke, but it is 10 years old. Smooth with some black fruit on the nose and finish. — 8 years ago

Sojourn

Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Petaluma Gap sounds windswept and barren but this is rich and as full a domestic Pinot as I can handle before I say, "fu*k this give me Burgundy". Hits classic notes of sweet red cherry, cinnamon spice and orange peel with good length and just enough acidity to balance 14.2% ABV. This is the perfect middle ground for California Pinot maybe, right between those who shoot for 'tastefully underripe' and the Martinelli/SeaSmoke/GuyFieriFlavortown contingent. — 9 years ago
