The Hidden Sea

Sea Smoke

Southing Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir

Superb Pinot! Aromas of raspberry and black cherry. Rich and smooth on the bud with stewed fruits, slight tartness, deep cherry, and a great spice note. Long finish! Had it at Blue Hound in PHX.

Franc Hidden Vineyards Cabernet Franc Malbec 2017

8.9

This was 100% CF - no sign of age, inky, w/impressive aromas of cherry cough drop, herbaceous, white pepper, medicinal - old school vibes on nose. Bit unruly on palate, definitely felt the heat and finish had some astringency. Not a huge fan of Paso Robles fruit… Still a decent quaff and scratches itch for varietal CF. — 2 months ago

Southing Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2019

Red plum for days. And clove, violets, pomegranate and cranberry.

Reminiscent of a riper Morey St Denis.

Ten Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Several layers of cherry and black cherry complimented by cedar and a hint of smoke. Medium to full tannins for a Pinot and not too rich like some Sonoma Pinots can be. Delicious. — 19 days ago

Sea Spray Blanc de Noirs Sta. Rita Hills Sparkling Pinot Noir 2018

These are getting better. The last one I had was a bit wound up but this one was expressing juicy flavors of cherry and ginger with fine bubbles. — 4 months ago

Sea Slopes Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Cloudy garnet color promises the vitality and exuberance of unfiltered #pinotnoir. Ripe cherry, red bramble fruit, strawberry. High-toned acidity on the palate, layered red fruit carries through. Irresistible #sonomacoast bottle that disappears quickly. — a month ago

8000th wine on here and it’s a doozy! Beautiful raspberry and blueberry fruit, exotic barrel notes, integrated perfectly. White pepper. Stems. Umami. Super exotic. Top notch barrels. Lighter than expected. Best domestic syrah ever? Kinda… thanks for tuning in! 8000 now and more to go. Maybe not Hahahha — 2 months ago
