Sea Smoke, Sta. Rita Hills (California) Pinot Noir 2012

Dec 7, 2014

By Rich Cook

A rich, round, seductive glass of Pinot Noir that’s more than just a one night stand — you’ll want more than one bottle for a long term relationship..  Fleshy black cherry, sarsaparilla, signature SRH damp earth and mild spice float over vibrant acidity that makes for a very long finish with great depth and complexity. For a wine that’s this powerful to manage to come off as elegant is an achievement.  And, I believe they’ve lowered the price a bit for this vintage. Well played!
