Nice. Raspberry, cola and mushrooms. Rich body and complex fruit. Great acidity. Age would definitely improve it.

A ton of California fruit. Crazy overrated. Yes has some acid but overall a fruit basket bomb. Not recommended. Sorry. But if you love California fruit this is your wine!😎.💋.

Still coming around. Feels a bit disjointed but not like it won't come together. Leaner than what you would expect.

Time has been kind but this is ready. Sea Smoke is a wine when I first had it that turned me from a moderate wino to full fledged wino. My tastes, palate and preferences have changed and while Sea Smoke can be polarizing it is still pleasurable and reminds me of how much fun and thought provocation wine can bring. Bring it.
