Sea Smoke

Exhibits fresh leather, rose water, black cherry, violets and a hint of macerated cherry. Fine tannins and minerality.

The wine explodes with cherries, raspberries and mulberries, finishing long and spicy; fine, ripe tannins and mouthwatering cool-climate acidity, this is elegantly balanced.

94 PTS WILFRED WONG. Control your emotions, the wild and uninhibited '05 Sea Smoke Southing Pinot Noir broke my back and made me supine when I drank it (3/4 of a bottle) dried fruit flavors abound.

Opens with a blast of blackberry, cherry pie, smoky vanilla and molasses, leading to a very rich, full-bodied mouthfeel; superextracted and tannic, but balanced and elegant.
