Sea Smoke 'Ten' Pinot Noir 2021

Ten is named for the ten Pinot Noir clones found on our estate vineyard. Our most masculine wine, it is brooding and intense, with firm, mature tannins and a long, velvety finish. Ten is not for the faint-of-heart and has been known, on occasion, to convert even the most fanatic Cabernet lover.

Grape Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir

Wine Region: Santa Rita Hills, Central Coast, California

Tasting Notes: A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with notes of black cherry, tuberose and fig, then a myriad of savory spices, and a hint of jasmine. Firm, mature tannins—evidence of Ten’s ageability—are followed by a long, velvety finish.

Food Pairing: Pork & Duck Rillettes
