2016 Sea Smoke, Pinot Noir Ten, Sta. Rita Hills 1×1.5L

Vinous 93

Sea Smoke’s 2016 Pinot Noir Ten is rich, boisterous and inviting from the very first taste. A wine of real immediacy and impact, the Ten has so much to offer. Black cherry, plum, hard candy, lavender, sweet spice and new oak are front and center in this lush, beautifully persistent Pinot Noir from Sea Smoke. The Ten will appeal most to readers who appreciate lush Pinots. There is certainly plenty to like here, that much is obvious. [Antonio Galloni, 24/09/2019]
