"The 2023 Pinot Noir Ten is a very successful wine in this vintage, showing enough richness to the dark berry fruit to soak up the considerable new French oak imprint. Brambly raspberry, dark cherry skin, lavendar, orange pith and bright fhubarb acidity join together to lift the palate effortlessly. Everything is in solid balance here. This style clearly works better with the freshness of a cool vintage like 2023." - Vinous 94VM
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.
