2015 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir "Southing"
"Delicate yet powerfully built, with concentrated spiced cherry and rhubarb flavors. Cardamom and smoky accents show on the finish. Needs some time to flesh out. Best from 2019." -Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator
Sea Smoke focuses on the meticulous management of each vine to achieve ideal vine balance and very low yields, while incorporating sustainable, environmentally sound, organic and biodynamic farming practices. Ten different clones of Pinot Noir create wines of exceptional complexity and grace – each one, they believe, a reflection of the unique terroir of their estate vineyard.
