Nice to taste this with at least a little age on it, usually goes so fast there's no time. Fruit is still prevalent, but giving way to subtle loaminess, Christmas spices and potpourri.

Very impressive pinot from the Central Coast. Not sure if Kris Curran was still making the wine at Sea Smoke through the 2009 vintage...but I’m guessing yes. Some nice secondary aromatics, the wine is probably on the other side of its peak. Still well balanced, with nice evolution on the palate, the wine is a great example of a Central Coast pinot with a little age on it. I doubt this one is going to improve with more time in the bottle, so I’d suggest opening this up sooner rather than later. Excellent wine.
