She is red-fruit forward, she has brioche touches and sea salt nuances on the nose. The palate is that sort of balance there isn’t a proper word for but gosh it’s there. Finishes slightly toasty with a zip of lemon and a squeeze of cranberry. — 3 months ago

Super crisp layers of green apple and citrus and some hints of surrounding some fig and tropical fruits. Very long finish and super well integrated oak. — 6 months ago

Medium deep ruby core , pretty narrow garnet rim , youthful and bright . Slightly funky at first but this blows off to release concentrated spicy cassis , blackberry, red currant , cigar box , wood smoke , truffle. On the palate very rounded with fresh dark blackcurrant and red currant fruits , well balanced acidity. Rounded but quite noticeable tannins. Long sweet red fruit finish with touches of charcoal, grafite and a saline nuance. This is lovely now, and maintained well in the decanter for 5 hours , and will surely last on this high plateau for another decade at least as it appears so young, plump and fruit driven. — 10 months ago

Stunning nose of cedar, tobacco and smoke with a hint of hot gravel. Rich silky fruit with awesome sweetness and freshness. Long lingering finishing that haunts the palate. Incredible. — 5 years ago

One of my favorite vintages from Chave that is open & expressive with red cherry, berry, black fruits, meat, smoke, licorice, earth, crushed rock & violet. — 4 months ago

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a Sea Smoke and for good reason. Well made for sure just too over the top for me now — 6 months ago

A little tired after 13 years but still a passable Pinot — 6 months ago

This had a silky, finessed, elegant mouthfeel showing black cherry, dark berry fruits, smoke, graphite, mineral that is inky on the palate with licorice, spice & violets. — 9 months ago

Pale ruby color. Aromas of bing cherry, cranberry and ocean breeze. Good cherry flavors, not a bad Pinot for the price. — 4 years ago

Hit the wine jackpot on a work trip! One of two leftovers from the table next to me! Excellent Pinot. Lots of fruit and doesn't taste like a classic Pinot. Smokey wine indeed! — 6 years ago

I’d say these wines are overrated. Second of the 2012’s I picked up. Dark fruit, supple but not that interesting. — 4 months ago

Really wish I had another one!! Toasted almond and brioche aromas with citrus and cherry. I think it’s my favorite Sea Spray vintage yet! — 4 months ago

Beautiful nose - cherry, raspberry, star anise. Like the salinity. Alcohol builds tho — 10 months ago

9.4

Nose of black tea, portobello, baked plum and soft, unctuous cherry. Kirsch-chocolate, blood orange, French roast, marigold, ferromagnesian elements. Coffee, baking chocolate, black cherry skin, cigar smoke, venison jerky, char, cassis, and vine charcoal.

9.5

Amazing wine that never disappoints with soaring aromatics of dark red fruits, licorice, soy, smoke, tar, leather, cedar & cigar box. Both floral & elegant that should hold for another 10 years. — 6 years ago
