RATINGS

92Jeb Dunnuck

Supple, polished and seamless, with classic sous bois, currants, and leafy herbs notes, it has moderate acidity and light tannin as well as terrific balance.

91The Wine Advocate

...offering lovely black cherries, mulberries and wild blueberries notions with hints of dried herbs and underbrush. Medium-bodied with a beautiful plush texture and seamless freshness, it has loads of red and black fruit layers with a compelling floral note to the finish.

91Wine Spectator

Well-focused on a core of ripe plum, cherry and red and dark berry flavors, supported by dusty, fine-grained tannins that give this pleasant oomph.

91Vinous / IWC

...laced with dried cherry, rose petal, spice, mint and lavender. Silky and medium in body...terrific purity of fruit.

90Wine Enthusiast

...intense in tannin and oak, the rich red cherry fruit marked by earthy spice, forest pine and sizzling acidity.

PRODUCER

Siduri

Siduri is based in Santa Rosa but sources its Pinot Noir grapes from vineyards from Santa Barbara to the Willamette Valley. Founded in 1994 by a pair of wine enthusiasts from Texas, Adam and Dianne Lee, the couple named their enterprise after the Babylonian goddess of wine. The estate only produces Pinot Noir, which consistently wins compliments from reviewers. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Siduri “one of the California’s top Pinot Noir producers.”

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Russian River Valley

Russian River Valley AVA is named for the river that meanders from Mendocino County in the north until it finally runs into the Pacific Ocean north of San Francisco. The AVA is cool thanks to its proximity to the northern California coast and the river, and grape growers must learn to deal with regular fog. Nevertheless in recent decades the AVA has become one of the best in the state, meaning that its wines often earn excellent reviews and have considerable cachet. The AVA status was awarded in 1983 and today the appellation has 15,000 vineyard acres. Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape though Pinot Noir has also been very successful in recent decades. Russian River Valley Pinot Noir are known for being rich, lush and filled with concentrated fruit and berry flavors. Russian River Pinot Noirs are today considered some of the best domestic Pinot Noirs.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
