Sea Smoke
Ten Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Tastes remarkably young and fresh after 9 years. A big Pinot showing lots of oak but not necessarily in an ostentatious way. Complex, long finish, all of the quality wine buzz words. As advertised, if not exactly the style I gravitate towards these days.

Nice black cherry scents on the nose. Palate in still incredibly concentrated with black cherry, cassis (odd) and dark berries. Outstanding.

One of the best sb county pinots I've ever had. Amazing nose of cherries, cola, moss. Mouthfeel is perfect. Just great fruit but has mellowed out with soft tannins and a great herbal and acidic undertone. This is a great example of balanced, fruit forward, california Pinot noir. Has a lot of years left as well.
