winemaker's notes:

The 2005 Sea Smoke Ten Pinot Noir shows deep extraction and intensity of flavor, maintains good balance across the palate, and culminates in a firm, but velvety finish. Aromas of dark plum, black cherry, currants, as well as cedar and a hint of earthiness are characteristic of this wine.

alcohol by volume: 14.9%
critical acclaim:

"Deep red. Exotically perfumed nose offers a wild array of dark berry, cherry, incense and floral scents. Spicy red and dark berry flavors are refreshingly bitter but became sweeter with air, gaining a white pepper and baking spice character. Really stains the palate, finishing with outstanding cling and length. I was looking for oakiness but didn't find it. Curran noted that she's as meticulous as possible with her winemaking, leaving as little as possible to chance. As she put it: 'Spontaneity isn't a good idea when you're making red expensive wine.'"

International Wine Cellar

"Ten takes its name from the number of pinot noir clones planted at Sea Smoke's estate vineyard at the west end of the Santa Rita Hills. The wine feels buff in its youth, sitting firmly in its oak for now. But after a day of air that youthful vigor begins to shine, revealing flavors of persimmon and exotic spice, as well as aromas that recall the coastal chaparral of Santa Barbara County. It's a big wine, with an intriguing blend of cool and warm, much like California's south coast. Built and balanced for several years in the cellar."
