Robert Parker (The World's Leading Independent Voice for the Wine Consumer) states, "Sea Smoke's 2009 Pinot Noir Southing is gorgeous."

Sea Smoke's goal for Southing is to create the ideal marriage of complexity and elegance. The seductive nose of the 2009 Southing exhibits fresh leather, rose water, black cherry, violets and a hint of macerated cherry. The fine tannins and minerality are enhanced by the estate's characteristic cool climate acidity.
