The score for 2015 Sea Smoke Cellars Ten Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills is 94 from Wine Enthusiast and the tasting note - Baked cranberry, cherry, clove, vanilla bean and mossy earth show on the nose of this always much anticipated bottling from the region's first cult producer. The palate is tangy with rounded black-plum, star anise and black-peppercorn flavors. It's excellent now, but those tart elements will find more integration with patience.
