Sea Smoke Botella Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2024

Botella Pinot Noir 2024 is a beautifully vibrant and polished expression of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir, offering the signature purity and coastal energy that have made Sea Smoke one of California’s benchmark producers. Named for the mineral-rich Botella soils that shape its character, the 2024 opens with lifted aromas of fresh raspberry, red cherry, rose petal, chaparral, and subtle vanilla spice. The palate is silky and beautifully balanced, layering bright red fruit, coastal herbs, fine minerality, and delicate oak nuance with remarkable freshness and precision. Crafted for earlier approachability than Sea Smoke’s estate bottlings while retaining impressive depth and structure, this is an elegant, expressive Pinot that captures the cool-climate sophistication of Sta. Rita Hills at its most charming.
