Sea Smoke 'Ten' Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills 2023

97 Points RWWT

Concentrated ruby color with a bright pink edge. The florals explode out of the glass with fresh lavender and violets. Remarkably dark fruited for Pinot Noir. Lucious blackberry and blueberry and cassis. The tannins are firm and smooth giving a full body feel to the wine. All is perfectly balanced with the hard spices imparted by the time in oak. -Mick Descamps, RWWT
