"The 2018 Pinot Noir SeaView Ridge is fabulous. Powerful and deep, yet also light on its feet, the 2018 marries finesse and power so beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, mint, rose petal and lavender form a gorgeous counterpoint . All the best elements of the house style come together effortlessly. The 2018 is rich, deep and also wonderfully translucent. Today it is naturally a bit tight after bottling, but nothing a few years in bottle won't take care of. Bright saline notes punctuate the driving finish."
Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
"This is a savory, earthy and truly expressive site, evocative of its high-elevation coastal site. Black tea, forest floor and quenching acidity support citrus overtones that complement the wild strawberry and raspberry at its elegant core, with a wealth of well-integrated finishing tannin."
Wine Advocate, 90 Points
"The 2018 Pinot Noir Sea View Ridge has a medium ruby color and restrained aromas of red berries, dried flowers and earthy nuances. The palate is light-bodied, soft and earthy with a gently spicy finish. 1,800 cases produced."
Winemaker Notes:
"The 2018 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."
