2012 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Ten
ワイナリー・ノート
Winemaking:
We sorted clusters in the vineyard and then gently
destemmed following an evening in our cold room. We removed all
‘jack stems’ on the sorting table. Musts were cold soaked in open-top
fermenters for one to four days, then inoculated with cultured yeasts
to begin slow fermentation. Each tank was manually punched down
one to three times per day, with a total maceration time of sixteen
to twenty-eight days. Upon completion of primary fermentation and
maceration, all free run wine was transferred to tank for settling.
We pressed at extremely low pressure (0.08 bars) to avoid extracting
bitterness from the seeds. After settling overnight both free-run and
press wines were racked to barrels.
Character:
A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with
notes of dried lavender and dark cherry, then a myriad of spices,
blueberry and dusty slate. Firm, mature tannins—evidence of Ten’s
ageability—are followed by a long, velvety finish.

A much bigger, richer Pinot Noir, the 2012 Pinot Noir Ten is a cellar selection chosen with the focus on structure and richness. Brought up in 65% new French oak, it has sensational purity and depth in its sweet black raspberry, crushed violets, spice and subtle oak aromas and flavors. These all carry over to the palate where the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and textured, with notable tannic grip. It's another wine from this estate that deliver tons of flavor authority while never seeming heavy, cumbersome or over the top. I wish more estates would make wine in this style.
I was thrilled with these latest releases from Seasmoke and when the region is chasing Burgundian-like ripeness and acid profiles, they continue to show it is possible to make rich, full-bodied and concentrated Pinot Noirs from the Sta. Rita Hills that are a joy to drink.
