In Stock 2011 Siduri Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir On Sale $25.99 "The 2011 Pinot Noir (Santa Rita Hills) shows marvelous complexity in its sweet, ethereal fruit. Dried cherries, crushed flowers and spices waft from the glass as this delicate, perfumed Pinot shows off its class. The 2011 has the potential to develop into a superb appellation wine.

It is an undeniably attractive entry-level wine to drink over the next few years. Dark red cherries, flowers and menthol wrap around the finish.

Available for Pre-Order (Tasting Quantities Limited) 2011 Siduri Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands Pre-Sell $36.99 "One of the more promising 2011s, Siduri's 2011 Pinot Noir Rosella's shows the freshness of the year in its lip-smacking acidity, although there is more than enough fruit to provide balance. Sweet dark red cherries, flowers and spices come together in this impeccable, refined Pinot. This is a terrific showing for the year. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016." 90-92 Points The Wine Advocate 2011 Siduri Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands Pre-Sell $36.99 "Siduri's 2011 Pinot Noir Soberanes is another soft, fleshy Pinot laced with attractive dark fruit. The Soberanes appears to be best suited for drinking over the next few years, given its mid-weight personality. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016." 88-90 Points The Wine Advocate 2011 Siduri Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands Pre-Sell $39.99 "Another promising wine, the 2011 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe shows lovely density and depth for the year. There is a purity to the fruit that is quite striking. This is another pretty 2011 Pinot from Siduri. In 2011, the Clos Pepe has a bit of whole clusters (something of a stylistic departure for Siduri) that adds an attractive, floral dimension on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016." 90-92 Points The Wine Advocate 2011 Siduri Parson's Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley Pre-Sell $36.99 "The 2011 Siduri Parsons' Vineyard Pinot Noir combines the best characteristics of the a ripe site and a cool vintage. It is intense, deep, and focused Pinot Noir that remains lively and balanced due to notable levels of acid and tannins. Flavors of blackberry, raspberries and plums intermingle with spice and minerality to make this a truly compelling Pinot Noir. We truly believe that this wine, as good as it is now, is only just beginning to show the full depth of character that it possesses and that it will only be more compelling with additional time in the cellar." Winemaker's Notes 2011 Siduri Sonatera Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast Pre-Sell $35.99 "The 2011 Siduri Sonatera Vineyard Pinot Noir shows a rich profile, with a mix of red and black fruits, hints of Christmas spice, and pine needles. The wine is expansive on the palate, finishing lively with just a hint of tannins helping balance out the final sip." Winemaker's Notes
