Sea Smoke

Southing Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Magnum format. Medium body. Decently aromatic nose but not striking. Smooth draw with a modicum of raspberry and clove on the finish. Needs to drop a little bit of the oak influence which will likely take 7-10 years. 6.6.24. — 3 days ago

Exquisite gold color. Insane nose! Minerals, beeswax, and subtle honey. Same on the palate. Oily, dense texture, which I love. This is right in my wheelhouse! I could swirl this in my mouth all night! — a month ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Nice depth of fruit and balance with smoooth tannins. Maybe just a tad too balanced for its age to consider it great. Aboard Celebrity Eclipse. — 13 hours ago

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2022

Burgundian notes, earthy but with notes of black fruit and even some strawberry. 1 hour decant definitely helped it open more. — a month ago
