2022 Sea Smoke "Ten" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
93
Decanter
Review Date: 03/2025Opulence and power mark the Ten bottling from Sea Smoke. This wine is comprised of ten Pinot Noir clones across the Sta Rita Hills estate—a showy, gregarious Pinot Noir with broad shoulders. Aromas of spice black plums, frankincense and exotic smoky notes of violets rose petals. The palate is fleshy; layered black fruits fold over rich baking spice and Madagascar vanilla owing to the 16-month elevage. Finishes with sweet berries and cherries and Christmas spice. (CP)

Notes
The iconic Sea Smoke Vineyard never disappoints. A truly world-class, Grand Cru site in the Sta. Rita Hills that helped put the region on the map. This site is often cloaked in cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean, hence the name " Sea Smoke". The vines grow in very rocky, diatomaceous earth and flint soils imparting a distinctive minerality to the wines. Sea Smoke has been farmed organically and biodynamically for many years. The meticulous farming regiment has helped the wines achieve incredible consistency and excellence elevating the wines to cult status. The 2022 releases have plenty of powerful fruit and intensity, but always have Sea Smoke's tell-tale purity, lift and ageing potential that has made the wines so legendary. Sea Smoke's "Ten" Pinot Noir is named for the diverse clonal selections planted across the estate, all of which are vinified separately and then carefully blended together to give the fullest expression of the unique site.
