  Broken cork...still a dark red with decent fruit...integrated tannins...on the decline for sure with perhaps another 1-2 years...time to drink up.

  Still a rich pinot after all these years. Probably not guessed pinot if tasted blind as its heavier and richer than most even at 15 years old. It's coming dangerously close to becoming the Caymus cab of pinot.

  From a passive cellar, this wine's mostly tertiary now and a good window into what cooler cellars will show in 4-5 years. Where I'm not such a fan of young Sea Smokes, aged bottles from J & A's cellar have been revelatory. Loved this one--fantastic old burg aromas of pot pourri, mushroom, sweet caramelized tomato, sour cherry and a long finish. Excellent.

  Slightly-bricking purple in color, with a nose of dusty raspberry and blackberry fruit. The palate shows black cherry, plum, and root beer notes, with hints of lavender and vanilla, having a medium-long finish. Paired beautifully with Easter dinner; this still has plenty of life remaining.
  
  Though I remain a buyer of Sea Smoke wines, I find that I am slightly preferring the Kris Curran vintages over time.

  Very nice, 14 years old, not as bright as it once was but in good shape. 2004 has turned out to be very nice for my Cali cabs and pinots after all these years. Drink up.
