Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Ten 2022 1.5L
The Winery
Sea Smoke
Deep in the heart of the northern hemisphere’s southernmost and sunniest region, lies the Sta. Rita Hills wine appellation. The Pacific Ocean creates a cooling fog, also referred to as sea smoke that funnels the hillside and makes for an optimal home to grow Pinot Noir. The 40-acre property that is the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard provides the producer with its entirety of fruit, which is comprised of 10 different clones of Pinot Noir as well as 10 acres planted of Chardonnay. Because of a change in winemaker in recent years, Sea Smoke has undergone a shift in style of their Pinot Noir wines with less extraction, less oak, and even more recognition.
Summary
The Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Ten 2022 is a distinguished estate-grown wine from the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, California. Crafted from a selection of ten Pinot Noir clones, this vintage reflects the warm growing conditions of 2022, resulting in modest yields and concentrated flavors. Its production involves organic and biodynamic practices, with small-lot fermentation and aging in predominantly new French oak barrels for 16 months. The wine showcases a rich profile with aromas of black plums, baking spices, and hints of violet. On the palate, it reveals fleshy layers of black fruits, sweet berries, and a complex finish with Christmas spice.
