Sea Smoke Cellars Ten Pinot Noir 2009 is a Californian wine from the Sta Rita Hills, produced from 10 distinct clones of Pinot Noir. The estate vineyard is influenced by maritime fog and cooling breezes from the Pacific, which allow for a long growing season and high aromatic intensity. The 2009 vintage produced a wine of concentration and depth, reflecting the clay-heavy soils of the site. Winemaking involves cold soaking and ageing in 100% new French oak, resulting in a plush and opulent style. This release is defined by notes of black cherry, dark chocolate and Asian spices, with a velvety mouthfeel. The 2009 is currently showing its potential for development, with the primary fruit having evolved into a more complex, savoury profile while maintaining its characteristic Californian power.

Vinous
Opaque ruby. Pungent, expressive bouquet offers dark berry compote, cola, vanilla bean and incense qualities, along with slow-building spiciness and notes of clove and mocha. Lush, palate-coating blackberry and mulberry flavors are lifted by gentle acidity and complicated by notes of spicecake and candied violet. Tannins build with air and carry through a very long, sweet, oak-spicy finish. This is a baby.Josh Raynolds1st November 2011
