Ten Pinot Noir 2022 Sea Smoke

Professional reviews

Decanter (93)

Opulence and power mark the Ten bottling from Sea Smoke. This wine is comprised of ten Pinot Noir clones across the Sta Rita Hills estate—a showy, gregarious Pinot Noir with broad shoulders. Aromas of spice black plums, frankincense and exotic smoky notes of violets rose petals. The palate is fleshy; layered black fruits fold over rich baking spice and Madagascar vanilla owing to the 16-month elevage. Finishes with sweet berries and cherries and Christmas spice.

The 2022 ‘Ten’ Pinot Noir is a stunning effort that is already beautifully evolved from this slightly warmer vintage. Winemaker Don Schroeder. makes this wine from its 10 "clones" of Pinot Noir. The palate is deep, fresh and fragrant with serious weight, texture and tension. Red rose petal water combines with bright cranberry and red cherry fruits alongside salty soils on the palate. Full-bodied and absolutely delicious, enjoy now and over the next ten plus years.
