Sea Smoke 2023 “Ten” Pinot Noir – Sta. Rita Hills Estate Vineyard – MAGNUM 1.5 L

📝 Detailed Tasting Notes & Description

The 2023 Sea Smoke “Ten” Pinot Noir Magnum is the pinnacle expression of the estate’s ten‑clone Pinot program on the storied Estate Vineyard in the heart of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. With its deep commitment to terroir, low yields, and precision viticulture, Sea Smoke has created a brooding, intense Pinot that commands respect and rewards patient cellaring.

Aromatics
From the moment the cork is drawn, a rich bouquet unfolds: dark blueberry, cassis, a whisper of lavender, hazelnut skin, thyme, and a touch of sweet liquorice. These bold, layered aromas set the tone for a wine of sophistication and depth.

Palate & Structure
The palate reveals a muscular yet refined construction: dense layers of black cherry, wild berry compote, dark plum, and cocoa‑dust merge with earthy undercurrents and energetic acidity. The tannins are firm, mature and promising of longevity — culminating in a long, velvety finish that lingers with spice, graphite, and delicate oak.

Format & Age‑Worthiness
Presented in the generous Magnum format (1.5 L), this release offers enhanced aging potential thanks to the size and slow maturation. While immediately alluring, this wine will shine with careful cellaring into the next decade and beyond.

Why This Matters

  • Estate‑grown from the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, planted with ten distinct Pinot Noir clones in six soil types.
  • Crafted as the top tier “Ten” bottling: entirely de‑stemmed fruit, open‑top fermentation, extended maceration, then aged in new French oak (56% new) for 16 months.
  • Very limited allocation, especially in Magnum format, making this both a collector’s piece and a wine to enjoy over a long horizon.

🍽️ Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Pair with successes including:
  • Roasted rack of lamb with herb crust
  • Duck confit with berry reduction
  • Prime rib with mushroom ragout
  • Mature cheeses such as aged Gruyère or Comté
    This wine’s depth and structured tannins make it ideal for rich, savory dishes that can stand up to its intensity.

🕰️ Cellaring & Drinking Window

  • Best for drinking: 2026‑2036+, with Magnum format supporting 10‑15 years of development. If you can wait that long.
  • Serve at around 16‑18°C (60‑64°F), decanted for 60–90 minutes to fully open up.
