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

Sounds great!

When, oh when, will Georgia become a reciprocal state? Stupid laws.

See if Vintage has any left. Use my name if you'd like. WW

Too late . . . shucks. Guess I'm going to have to send her back [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

I posted about the stuff she did get on the other thread.

And, thanks for letting her name drop -- they were tickled pink you rec'd them and were great.

i am trying to buy two bottles of this from someone on the WS board, since winery won't ship down here. BTW, dananne, the guy who is getting the wine is on sea smoke's mailing list and also lives in GA. maybe u need to ask them "pretty please" [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

I got mine, and yesterday got a "re-allocation" email, which gives me a further allocation of 2 bottles each of Botella, Southing and Ten. Thinking about it, except the Ten, which is a tad pricey.
