Sea Smoke
Botella Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
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. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

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😕
