Fabulously surprising! This wine is one of those warm robust bear humans who wraps you in a hug that doesnβt smother you, it frees you. Itβs fresh. Oodles of dark berries and plums plus vanilla and a very herbal earthy thing and something like leather. So very very good. β 6 years ago

I believe this is my first bottle from the Fort Ross Seaview AVA.
The nose is gorgeous with fresh berries framed by floral, herbal, and earthy elements. On the palate itβs lively yet refined, with juicy raspberry and cranberry leading the way. Soft integrated tannins.
Drinking alongside the Sea Smoke Ten of the same vintage, this beauty certainly stands on its own, and actually offers a deeper and more complex nose. Just a lovely Pinot! β 5 years ago
