2012 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir "Ten"
"From a site located on the eastern side of the appellation, the 2016 Pinot Noir Pence saw the standard destemming and 20 months in 25% new French oak. Tons of classic Sta. Rita Hills marine and salinity all jump from the glass of this beauty, which has terrific cherry and strawberry fruits, medium body, a seamless, elegant texture, and integrated acidity. This is a brilliant, classic Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir that does everything right. (Drink between 2019-2027)." -Wine Advocate, 95WA
The only 'cult' Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer in the Central Coast, 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.
