Sea Smoke ‘Botella’ Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2024

Sea Smoke’s unique work in Santa Barbara with Burgundian varietals has shot the winery to fame and sent thousands of fans scouring the web searching for bottles. After years of keeping two secret wines exclusive to their tasting room, they’ve finally decided to let the ‘Botella’ out of the bag.

This beauty was sourced from elite neighboring vineyards like Fiddlestix, La Encantada, and Sanford & Benedict in the Sta. Rita Hills. These are some of the most prestigious vineyard sources in California, planted on the distinctive mineral-rich Botella clay soils.
Under Don Schroeder’s lead, the Botella wines are made for immediate enjoyment with the same precision that defines Sea Smoke. The Pinot Noir features gentle winemaking and earlier picks for brightness and there’s all the same purity, vibrancy, and character of Sta. Rita Hills, just in a more approachable style than Sea Smoke’s flagship estate wines. You’re going to love these!
