2002 Sea Smoke Botella

[winoweenie]

Any of you who live in a reciprical shipping state must get on this terrific producers mailng list. This is beyonda a shadow the best wine I've experienced under 30 bucks in 5-10 years. Produced from estate grown fruit this deep ruby bottling has lovely accents of earth, fruit and spices on the nose. The palate gives layers of brite red fuit with just a whisper of oak. Forward but not overpowring, this balanced beauty shoud improve with another 2-4. Killer juice. One of 3 different Pinots from this lovely Santa Rita Hills property. Got the heads-up from Brian Loring last spring. 91-95. 22.99 by the box. 14.3% alc. WW
