Sea Smoke
Sea Smoke Cellars is renowned for its exclusive richly elegant and graceful Pinot Noir. The vineyard is located in Santa Barbara's Santa Rita Hills. Its unique geography provides perfect conditions for producing world class Pinot Noir. In 1999 Bob Davids purchased the vineyard in Santa Barbara’s western hills and fulfilled a life long dream. In the summer a cool nighttime fog radiates from the Santa Ynez River across the vineyards. The fog slows the maturation process hence creating a unique Sea Smoke grape.
