Grand Pinot Noir 2017 is a single-site red wine from Sea Smoke Cellars in the Sta Rita Hills, representing the pinnacle of their estate production. This wine is crafted from the most intense blocks on the south-facing hillside bluffs, where the maritime fog provides an extended maturation period. The 2017 exhibits a brooding aromatic profile of lavender, blackberry and white sage, supported by firm, mature tannins. It is a wine of significant structure and savoury spice, designed to showcase the concentration achievable from the vineyard’s shallow clay soils and meticulously farmed French Pinot Noir clones.
