Richly endowed with vivid citrus flavors accented with tastes of apple and subtle blonde caramel. Beautifully crafted with redeeming acidity and a finish awash in citrus goodness. Like an Olympic Winter Games snowboarder: Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Southing refers to the south-facing hillside bluffs on the estate vineyard.
Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of black cherry, purple berry, underbrush and tar engage the nose. Comforting and satiny in the mouth, in an elegant but flavorful, even powerful, mid weight style, offering flavors of black cherry and boysenberry accompanied by earthbound notes. The tannins are well-behaved making for easy drinking now.
A selection of the most robust wines of the vintage and as a result, the darkest and richest of the Sea Smoke bottlings. In , reduced yields led to a small crop with unusually high grape concentration. Total maceration 16 to 28 days. A brooding wine that seems reluctant to engage the drinker upon opening. Rustic aromas of clay, earth and dark berry and stone fruits.
A voluptuous mouthful of purple and black berry and black plum fruit flavors greet the palate along with firm but not muscled tannins. Harmonious in mouth feel and character with a purple-fruited finish that seems endless.
SEA SMOKE - Trialto
A little more appealing when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle with more aromatic goodness and fruit expression. The wine was just starting to come out of its shell three days later and was very seductive. Challenging to score this wine as it needs a few more years in bottle. Whole cluster pressed before gently pumped into stainless steel tank and cold settled. Subsequently, the wine was inoculated for malolactic fermentation and lees were periodically stirred. Aged for 16 months before bottling. Enticing aromas of lemon wafer, yellow apple, spice, white chocolate and crushed sea shells.
Polished in the mouth with a sophisticated bearing, offering tastes of lemon creme, apple and vanillin and a pervasive thread of minerality in the background. Well-integrated acidity with adroit oak management. Cool microclimate, southern exposure, clay soils and low yields. Vineyard has been farmed organically and biodynamically since Dark berries and stone fruits with a hint of spice are featured on this very pleasant nose. A luscious, but not overbearing array of dark fruits have an earthy bent and are well supported by vital tannins.
Soothing in the mouth, with a deft touch of oak seasoning, integrated acidity, and a lengthy, blackberry-driven finish. Still very young, and will benefit from more time in the cellar. It is the deepest and most robust Sea Smoke Pinot Noir. The amount of new oak has gradually been reduced as has the amount of toasting as part of the ongoing winemaking evolution. Both free-run and press wines were racked to oak barrels.
Upon opening, oak-infused aromas and flavors combine with a fruit-charged core of dark cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and spice. The wine showed much less oak overlay when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle when the fruit became front and center. Boldly styled, with delicious fruit expression, supportive tannins, and integrated acidity.
A masculine interpretation of Pinot Noir, yet not highly muscled, offering a soft, approachable tone, and a refreshingly juicy finish. Decant this beauty when you pull the cork. Crafted from the organically farmed and biodynamic certified Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard by winemaker Don Schroeder who has been at Sea Smoke since A blend of 10 clones.
Plenty of spicy boysenberry fruit aromas are joined with subtle notes of toast and vanilla. Very welcoming in the mouth, with a suave mouthfeel, bright acidity and gentle tannins. The taste of fresh purple berry fruits have expansive energy in the mouth and on the lengthy and uplifting finish. The barrel treatment is adroitly managed.
An aristocratic wine that has the balance to carry on for many years. Four clones, primarily Wente clone with additional Dijon clones. Untoasted hectoliter foudre and some liter demi-muids were used in fermenting the earlier-picked Dijon clones. After whole cluster pressing, the juice was racked to both French oak barrels and a stainless steel fermenter, then inoculated for both primary and malolactic fermentation. High class aromas of flint, steel shavings, lemon and butter. Sleek and refreshing, with a delicious infusion of peach, pear, lemon and grapefruit flavors brought to vivid expression with acidic verve.
There is only a slight imprint of oak, and the polished demeanor is sublime. Southing represents the diversity of the entire Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard.
Sea Smoke Cellars
Free-run juice was sent to tank and pressed, with both free-run and press wines racked to barrels. Plenty of oak-driven spice and vanilla compliment the fruit aromas of blackberry and floral notes of rose and violet. Discreetly concentrated, with flavors of purple and black fruits, graced with spice, dark chocolate and floral accents. Soothing tannins are nicely balanced by juicy acidity and there is some length on the fruit-driven finish. Aged 16 months before bottling. Fragrant with scents of fresh peach, lemon, biscuit and nutty oak. Silky on the palate with resourceful flavors of lemon-lime, quince and toasty oak.
Very refined with a subtle flinty minerality and some finishing presence. The name refers to the south-facing hillside block of the estate vineyard. Musts were cold soaked for 1 to 4 days, then inoculated with cultured yeasts. Manual punchdowns were carried out three times a day, with a total maceration time of 14 to 18 days.
Free-run juice was transferred to tank for settling. Pressing was carried out at very low pressure. Gorgeous nose featuring spiced berries, violets, sous-bois and a hint of vanilla. The flamboyantly flavored core of black raspberry and plum is accented with spice and an undertone of earthy flora. Amazing fruit flavor, yet angelic, with a very soft and seamless demeanor, with oak adding complimentary seasoning.

The fine-grain tannins are beautifully integrated and the typically bright Sta. Rita Hills acidity adds vibrancy. The finish is long and pleasing, filled with spicy plum goodness.
This wine demands your attention from the get-go. Still stunning the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, when I drained the bottle. A long, cool fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks followed by once-used and neutral French oak barrels. After 9 months of aging on the lees, the wine was bottle aged an additional 24 months en tirage before disgorging. The wine was finished with no dosage. The nose is searching and complex, offering scents of yeasty lees, salty ocean, peach pit, walnut oil, and subtle cherry and raspberry fruits.
