Region: Sonoma County, California

Vintage: 2012

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

History: Two Pinot Noir lovers, Adam and Dianna Lee, founded Siduri Wines in 1994. They produced only four and a half barrels of Pinot Noir at that first vintage. Now, they handcraft over 10,000 cases of Pinot Noir from vineyards ranging from Oregon’s Willamette Valley down to the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Lucia Highlands AVAs. Each Pinot Noir is created using gravity flow and minimal intervention to reflect the unique terroir of each particular vineyard. Siduri Wines and its sibling, Novy Family Wines have received the Wine Spectator‘s New York Wine Experience “Critics Choice” recognition seven times since 2004.

Tasting Notes:

Presents an enticing nose of dark cherry, raspberry, and subtle forest floor aromas. The palate is well-balanced, offering rich red fruit flavors, earthy undertones, and a touch of spice, with oak seamlessly integrated. Fine-grained tannins and a lingering, elegant finish highlight the vineyard’s distinct terroir and the vintage’s complexity.
