Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Southing - 2008 (750ml) Columbia Valley The palate is well-balanced with92 Wine Spectator This full bodied red combines richness with depth and subtlety, delivering complex, expansive flavors of spicy earth, cedar, blueberry and dark berry. 92 points Wine Enthusiast A big, extracted and somewhat ponderous Pinot Noir. Could be Grenache, such is the weight. But it's very good and delicious and dry, with raspberry and cherry flavors, and lots of smoky oak. Give it 46 years in the bottle.
