Sea Smoke Southing Pinot Noir 2012

'Has there been another producer of Pinot Noir in California that has caused as much buzz among Pinot enthusiasts? The emphasis here is on meticulous management of the vineyards using a combination of cutting-edge technology and a highly skilled vineyard team ... There are three estate bottlings representing a blend of different blocks of the estate vineyard: Southing, Botella and Ten ... The Sea Smoke lineup of Pinot Noirs are a hot ticket and sold primarily through the mailing list. Allocations are tight.' (William Gaffney, PinotFile, vol. 9, issue 49, Oct. 20, 2014)
