Plenty of dark fruits (Blackberry), very interesting savory notes (fennel seed, tarragon and hint of mint) and some dampness.. High Acid which balances the alcohol and a medium finish.

Decant this for at least an hour. True to form the Sea Smoke Pinot Noir wines are better with a few years age. A nice Burgundy hue, the nose is reticent, slowly evolving red fruits like strawberry rhubarb, cherries and cedar. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannins and a supple but decent finish that adds a savory touch. I still think the Southing bottling is the sweet spot in the Sea Smoke lineup of wines. #pinot #santabarbara #staritahills

Starting brown on the rim. Cherry, cola raspberry and sweet tannins. Lot’s of good fruits at age 18. Very Burgundian.
