Southing Pinot Noir 2004 is an estate bottling from Sea Smoke Cellars in Sta Rita Hills, named for its south-facing hillside orientation. This vintage is elegantly styled with a dark garnet hue, offering aromas of wild blueberry, black cherry and violets. The wine reflects the cool-climate acidity of California`s Central Coast, balanced by ample body and firm, ripe tannins that have integrated over two decades. It showcases the richness and concentration typical of the estate`s early years, with forest floor and earthy undertones adding complexity to its full-bodied and powerful palate.

Good medium red. Superripe aromas of candied raspberry, plum, spices and flowers. Fat, spicy and sweet, with a deep core of rich red fruits. Finishes with sweet tannins and excellent length.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2006

The 2004 Pinot Noir Southing, which takes its name from a south-facing hillside vineyard, is a packed and stacked effort with a dense ruby/purple color as well as a restrained, but promising nose of black currants, cherries, and raspberries with forest floor/earthy undertones. This is a full-bodied, powerful Pinot revealing striking elegance, purity, and seamlessness. Although young and unevolved, it is well-balanced, and should drink well for 7-10 years.
