13’Sea Smoke Botella
Beautiful ruby red color.
Nose is very expressive. Black cherry, allspice.
The black cherry comes across also on the palate. Red plum, boysenberry, cherry cough drops, velvety tannins ,balanced acidity. Perfect spot after a 45 minute decanting.

First and last time I will have this wine. Tasted like dirt. Or maybe dirty dishwater. Literally. Decanted for three hours and still was one dimensional, dull, flat, thin. Nothing compared to the Ten and Southing which I love. Sorry to rant but this stuff was crap. Or at the very least a big let down. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Very light fragrance...hard to make out specific notes on the nose. Drinks very smoothly , and is fruit forward, is jammy and light bodied with flavors of dark berries and strawberry. Easy to drink, and is delicate and smooth on the palate! $100

This is showing really well now. Nice aromas of aromatic balsam wood, dried flowers, black currant, dark cherry, and a little mocha. Not too fruit forward but just right. Good acidity with very well integrated tannins and a medium plus body for a Pinot. Very long finish I wish I had another bottle😕
