Sea Smoke Cellars 2016 Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills
Spiced oak aromas entice in this intense and large-boned Pinot Noir, enhanced by the marine fog (aka “sea smoke”) that travels up the Santa Ynez River canyon every evening. Made with low-vigor clones grown on shallow clay soils and aged 16 months in French oak, it has bright acidity and a dense texture. Robust meaty notes are tempered by lavender and cherry. 95
