Aromas of dried cherries, rose and magnolia are interwoven with light vanilla coffee and hints of pine needle and resin. Juicy concentrated strawberry and cherry compote flavors on the front palate are balanced by a weightier yet elegant mid-palate. Hints of vanilla bean pannacotta leads to a lingering, mouthwatering finish with bright coastal acidity.

This wine opens with complex aromatics of black cherry, mulberry, sandalwood and a touch of baking spice from the sparing use of new French oak barrels. The finish is silky and long, typical of Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.

Take a deep breath and dive in. Sea Floored opens with aromas of dark, earthy pomegranate wtih nuances of raspberry jam and classic Sta. Rita Hills black pepper. The wine is a bold pinot noir with dominate flavors of dark cherry cola, black plum and boysenberry with a silky tannin finish from French oak barrels and accents of freshly ground black pepper.
