Sea View Ridge Pinot Noir 2017

Winemaker Notes

The 2017 Sea View Ridge Pinot Noir boasts violets, blackberry, mission fig and distinctive notes of wet forest and sea air. On the palate, sweeter berry fruits, hints of bay laurel, oolong tea and vanilla are supported by soft, feathery tannins. The most fruit-driven wine of the vintage, this wine perfectly captures the elegance of our Sea View Ridge Estate Vineyard. Made with 100% Pinot Noir.

93 Points by Wine Advocate

The 2017 Pinot Noir Seaview Ridge is pale to medium ruby with aromas of lush black cherries, baked cranberries, orange peel, warm dusty earth and rhubarb with hints of Earl Grey tea and a lovely spicy undercurrent. Very spicy in the mouth, it's light to medium-bodied and silky with seamlessly woven grainy tannins and a long, nuanced finish.

This is a feral, earthy and layered wine from the famous coastal site, woven with compost, black tea and savory cardamom character. The fruit is tart and intriguing, a mix of pomegranate, rhubarb and wild strawberry that match well with the accents and grippy texture.
