2016 Sea Smoke 'Ten' Pinot Noir

Deep in the heart of the northern hemisphere’s southernmost and sunniest region, lies the Sta. Rita Hills wine appellation. The Pacific Ocean creates a cooling fog, also referred to as sea smoke that funnels the hillside and makes for an optimal home to grow Pinot Noir. The 40-acre property that is the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard provides the producer with its entirety of fruit, which is comprised of 10 different clones of Pinot Noir as well as 10 acres planted of Chardonnay.

The 2016 Sea Smoke 'Ten' Pinot Noir is a brooding, intensely concentrated California red from the renowned Sta. Rita Hills. This lush Pinot Noir offers robust flavors of dark cherry, plum, and cocoa, balanced by velvety tannins.
