Sea Smoke "Botella" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2024

Wine Enthusiast : 95 Points

(11/1/2026) This recently re-released line from this cult brand is opening the door for more people to experience this estate-driven program. Aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and white peppercorn are crisp on the nose. The palate is more lavish and rich, with a core of cherry that's balanced by blood orange peel and eucalyptus leaf flavors.

Vinous - Billy Norris : 93 Points

(9/2026) A new entry-level wine from Sea Smoke, the 2024 Pinot Noir Botella delivers an open-knit yet sophisticated profile with freshness and approachability but no shortage of complexity. Crunchy cranberry, sour cherry, blood orange and new leather unfurl in the glass, filling the palate with a velvety, lively texture. This is at once fun and serious, not to mention priced super fairly for this level of complexity. Delicious.
