Take a deep breath and dive in. Sea Floored opens with aromas of dark, earthy pomegranate wtih nuances of raspberry jam and classic Sta. Rita Hills black pepper. The wine is a bold pinot noir with dominate flavors of dark cherry cola, black plum and boysenberry with a silky tannin finish from French oak barrels and accents of freshly ground black pepper.
Sea Floored is an ode to the ancient sea floor in which our vineyards are planted and the cool Pacific breezes that help Pinot to thrive in the Sta. Rita Hills. You can taste those maritime roots in its concentrated fruit, balanced acidity and fascinating minerality.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
Aromas of strawberry sauce on ice cream introduce the nose to this bottling. The palate lands with ample power and texture to frame the strawberry, cinnamon and sumac flavors, as orange rind adds bite to the finish. -M.K.
