Botella is named after the mineral-rich soil type found on Sea Smoke's Estate Vineyard and other exceptional vineyards of the Sta. Rita Hills.
Botella’s grapes are sourced from neighboring vineyards of the Sea Smoke estate. This Pinot Noir is shaped with a gentle hand, echoing the estate’s signature elegance while offering its own bright immediacy. Similar to the approach they take with our estate wines, winemaking features separate fermentations by block with gentle cap management. Botella features less time on the skins, earlier picks for bright aromatics, shorter barrel aging, and lower new French oak impact.
Notes of raspberries, red cherries, chaparral, and bouquet garni, together with vanilla bean and a touch of toffee.
