Sea Smoke 2017 Grand Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills
The Sea Smoke 2017 'Grand' Pinot Noir is an opulent and finely crafted expression of Pinot Noir, hailing from the cool-climate vineyards of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA in California. Known for its meticulous attention to detail and focus on low-yield vines, Sea Smoke produces wines of remarkable depth, balance, and elegance, and the 2017 ‘Grand’ Pinot Noir is a standout example of their mastery.
On the nose, this wine offers an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and plum, complemented by layers of violet, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness. Hints of cedar, spice, and crushed herbs add intrigue and complexity.
The palate is plush and full-bodied, with a silky texture and vibrant acidity that beautifully frame the concentrated fruit flavors. Notes of blackberry, red currant, and dark chocolate are accented by savory undertones of earth and a touch of minerality. The seamless integration of fine-grained tannins and well-judged oak contributes to the wine’s depth and structure.
The finish is long and layered, with lingering impressions of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of forest floor, reflecting both the wine’s complexity and its sense of place.
This Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with roasted duck, lamb, or mushroom risotto, and it has the potential to age gracefully for another decade or more. The 2017 Sea Smoke ‘Grand’ Pinot Noir is a luxurious and expressive wine, perfect for collectors and lovers of premium Pinot Noir.
