2019 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir "Ten"
"Intense aromas of iron and metal shavings with sliced strawberries as well as lemon peel. Full-bodied with linear and layered tannins that are tight and very fine. The structure and length of this wine is really impressive and beautiful. This will age for decades." -James Suckling, 98JS
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.
