Saturday, April 29, 2023 - Had the 2020 Sea Smoke Southing with no preconceived opinions other than enjoying it once with my wife with dinner at a fun formal restaurant three years ago.
Mind you , we popped this open with friends after already indulging in a Smith Madrone Chardonnay, 2018 Mayacamas Melot and a 2010 Chateau Valendraud - Saint Emilion.
After already being impressed by the previous wine line up I wouldn't normally pour a pinot noir after two beautiful Merlots but Man am I glad I did.
The Sea Smoke immediately jolted the senses with rhubarb, orange zest and violets. Evolving further with time and on the palate crushed ripe raspberries , mulberry and Macha tea.
The nose was pure sensory bliss. This for me has more appeal than Kosta Browne. Only other California Pinot that delivers the goods with distinction and class like this are Roar from Santa Lucia Highlands and Mount Eden from Santa Cruz Mountains.
I'm sure there are a few more out there that do so as well but these are my top of the list for me. Cheers, Foxen Wilder.
