Tasting notes
So much dried and grilled seaweed, together with grilled eel, dried strawberry and cherry. Decadent. Meaty. Medium to full body. Salty, with an iodine undertone. Sweet fruit in the center-palate. Drink now.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Sea View Ridge Vineyard comes from a vineyard just 1.8 miles from the Pacific Ocean and an altitude of 1,875 feet above sea level. It's lighter-hued compared to the Camp Meeting Ridge release and has an expressive, perfumed nose of mulberries, raspberries, and cherries as well as lots of baking spices and autumn leaves. Medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant, it's drinking nicely today yet opens up with time in the glass, and I suspect it will benefit from a year or three of bottle age. It should keep through 2031.
