Sea Smoke Cellars Southing Pinot Noir 2022 showcases the distinct terroir of the Sea Smoke Vineyard in Santa Barbara’s Santa Rita Hills AVA. The wine presents aromas of ripe Montmorency cherry, herbal notes of sage, and hints of hibiscus, alongside subtle baking spices. The palate reveals fine tannins and a defining minerality, with the vineyard’s cool climate acidity enhancing the wine’s structure. Sea Smoke Vineyard is noted for its unique shallow clay soils and the evening marine fog, which contributes to prolonged fruit development. This influences the wine’s balance and complexity year after year.
