2023 vintage

Initial funk, cherry, and alcohol on the nose. The alcohol blew off shortly, palate a bit shrill to start but settled; nice cherry fruit left behind. Drink up if you have them.

1999 vintage

Opened at the CDP by Allred. From magnum. A little funk at first but it blew off. Sweet red fruit with cranberry. Drinking well. 91 points.

Cellar Diminishment Tasting (M/M thelostverse) : Cellar diminishment party - brief note. Magnum. Cherry nose and palate; restrained. Soft and elegant.

1999 vintage

Dark cherries with earth, smoke, and tobacco notes on the palate with soft acidity culminating in a tasty finish.

2009 vintage

Similar tasting notes to previous bottle.

2009 vintage

Dark cherries with prominent earth, smoke, and tobacco notes on the palate with lovely acidity culminating in a tasty finish.

2009 vintage

Ripe fruit and earthy notes on the nose with a bit of spritz on the palate with moderate length on the finish. With more air time it develops some over-ripe notes. Drink up, I don't see this improving. Not up to the $44 I paid from the winery, but at $18 on the open market it's reasonable.

2007 vintage

Drinking very well. Tannins soft and in the background. I suspect it's not going to get alot better.

I have always found Siduri Pinot ideosyncratic which also means that each wine is very different from one another and, for the most part, signals of locale. Red with purple highlights. Deep color. Not quite brilliant. Attractive, complex, powerful nose of cola, cherry, spicy high tone( note: none of the earthy quality of the Lachini from Willamette that we had last night.) Surprising cola ( reminds me of may Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot- mountain grown? the clone?) in this wine, …

Secondary fermentation - first pinot I've had with this flaw. Drinkable, but too acidic to be really enjoyable.

2007 vintage

Decanted for 45 minutes. Wonderful nose of fruit and cola. Amazing balance with the right amount of acidity and complexity. Medium finish. It will be tough to sit the rest for a while, but likely improve for at least a few years.

2009 vintage

Yes, spritzy, but delicious with lots of earthy funk. Yum.

2007 vintage

Flawed.

2007 vintage

Another carbonated bottle. WTH. similar to previous note.

2007 vintage

2009 Siduri Pinots Blindtasted with Adam Lee (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA) : Group's #5 (my #5) – 73 pts.; 1, 0, 3, 7 - medium dark cherry red color with pale meniscus; oak, smoke, tart cherry, raspberry nose; toasty, solid, red fruit, sous bois palate; medium finish

2009 vintage

*this juice was carbonated* - a new phenomenon to me. Due to secondary fermentation? or CO2 introduction during bottling? Getting a lot more dust/earth/underbrush and less fruit than most reviewers, so probably a flawed bottle. Even so - it was very enjoyable once the CO2 blew off.

2007 vintage

As usual this Siduri wine is outstanding, and for the price point even better. Agree with others tasting notes.

2007 vintage

WOW. At $18 this was an insane bargain. Rich, spicy, coca cola, funky...this was everything I like in Siduri. Sooooo different young then their aged classics. Hope to stock up on this one if possible.

2007 vintage

Interesting comparision here having just had the Tandem Van der Kamp Pinot. More cinamon spice here, more developed with that same cardomom sense going on. And chocolate. Very spritzy on the palate with that dark chocolate core on the palate. A little bit funky on the back end with that lingering spritziness. I guess I am going to conclude that the bottle is slightly flawed. Hmmm... hard to know exactly.

2007 vintage

Decanted ninety minutes. Dark ruby hued, with aromas of candied red and black fruits, earth, and game meats. Big flavors of ripe black cherry, wild berry, licorice and Pepsi cola turn smoky and a bit hot on the medium-long finish. I like the masculine style, but am finding it primary and somewhat disjointed at this stage.

2007 vintage

Very nice - Cola even Dr. Pepper nose.

2007 vintage

We really enjoyed this wine. Great fruit profile, cherry and red berries. Nice structure. Some of the primary fruit character is settling down, revealing some elegance and strength. A nice example of a CA PInot with 8 years on it. I need to get some more.

1999 vintage

Bright red fruits, minerals and that characteristic pine needle. Lots of acid spine in this wine. In fact the highest acid levels I can remember from a Siduri Pinot. Will go a number years. Best enjoyed with food.

1999 vintage

Earthy/berry nose. Nice spice/berry with a long finish.

1999 vintage

Pinot Noir Tasting (Meo Camuzet, Flowers, Hansel, Cristom...) (Zoot Restaurant) : First Siduri I've ever liked to some extent. Very primary wine that has so much fruit left at this point. Only problem is that the fruit overpowers everything else, soi I'm not so sure there's any structure underneath. The pretty balckberry and blueberry turns slightly medicinal on the finish.

1999 vintage

Nice, ripe, mulberry nose; good flavors, ripe, big 88+ pts.

1999 vintage

Red Carpet: Bright notes from start, cherry, leather, smooth, med. bod, nice a’s, long fin. but a little sour berry fin.

1999 vintage

Are you sure?
