Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Southing - 2008 (750ml) viner and overall balance

and overall balance

this wine should evolve easily for 20 or more years

Still a bit tightly wound

I found this to be one of the more backward wines of the 2000 vintage and gave it a window of maturity of 2015-2040 when I reviewed it in 2003

One of the blockbuster wines of the vintage

Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Southing - 2008 (750ml) viner and overall balance92 Wine Spectator This full bodied red combines richness with depth and subtlety, delivering complex, expansive flavors of spicy earth, cedar, blueberry and dark berry. 92 points Wine Enthusiast A big, extracted and somewhat ponderous Pinot Noir. Could be Grenache, such is the weight. But it's very good and delicious and dry, with raspberry and cherry flavors, and lots of smoky oak. Give it 46 years in the bottle.
