Very perfumed aroma, lots of sweet red berries. Cranberry and vanilla flavor with some lime zest on the finish. A little thin and acidic at first but really opened up nicely with air. A crowd pleaser.
Hasn’t moved much in the last 3 months. Hold.

Sea Smoke never disappoints me and this is no exception with bold red berry fruits with integrated dark plum, and a subtle chalk characteristic that is unique to the Santa Rita Hills due to the diatomaceous soil. The wine was very well balanced at such a young age. Very delicious!

Initially very fruity / too fruity, then there’s a tannic spine where everything becomes flat and thin. Needs more time to sleep and balance out.

A little young. It is very good, but will be better with some more time in the bottle
