Last year, the ‘Southing’ received 96pts from Wine Enthusiast. All indications are that this vintage is likely to blow that out of the water. The ‘Southing’ Pinot Noir is the marriage of elegance and complexity using all of the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard. Every year this wine evaporates quickly after a smattering of big scores, but in a crazy year I managed to snag a few cases before the scores roll in and the wine rolls out.
