NOTES: The 2023 growing season in Sta. Rita Hills was shaped by much needed rainfall that cleansed the entire area. This was followed by a cool spring and moderate summer. As harvest approached, the weather warmed, giving the grapes an ideal final push to ripeness. While the 2023 vintage wines possess that luxurious core of fruit that has become the signature of the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard, they display a graceful purity and refinement, with enticing aromas, silky tannins, and soaring flavors. Already complex and captivating, they have the structure and sophistication to promise an exciting evolution in the years ahead.
