First bottle of Sea Smoke for us, and we did not know that they made a sparkling wine. This bottling is made up of 100% Pinot Noir from the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills. Aged for six months, sur lie, in used French oak barrels prior to an additional sixteen months in bottle prior to disgorgement.
