2023 Sea Smoke "Ten" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Composed of 100% estate-grown destemmed Pinot Noir that aged 16 months in 56% new French oak barrels and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Tasting notes from the producer: "A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with notes of blueberry, cassis, a hint of lavender followed by a myriad of exotic spices, some hazelnut, thyme and an element of licorice. Firm, mature tannins—evidence of Ten’s ageability—are followed by a long, velvety finish."
