Siduri, Amber Ridge Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley

Opened and enjoyed. Cork slightly crumbly, and some sediment. Full-bodied braised toasty elements of plums, blacks, spices. Nice sweet fruit still and quite well structured at this age....more of the same on the palate, long finish. Amazing bottle really at this stage...wish we had more!

Retail $50. Under cork. I was doing inventory in the cellar the other day and, well, this bottle popped up as not in my inventory. Whoa. The last bottle of this wine I opened was in 2017, a full six years ago. That deserves a "whoa'. As does this bottle. Fairly dark in the glass with a bit of raspberry. Stewed raspberry, ripe cherry, a bit of smoke and earth. Very nice. The palate is more nuanced, interestingly, with fruit, …

Who says that Adam Lee's Pinot Noir can't age? I admit that I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to aging wines and there have been times that I have been burned (read any of my comments on White Burgundy), but when you get one right, it is incredible. Fruity and bombastic on the nose. But on the palate? Holy cow. Throws a bit of sediment but completely worth it. Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

Retail $50? I have been drinking Adam Lee’s wines for many years now and while they typically are never shy, they are almost always balanced. This is no exception. Initially, quite fruity and bombastic on the nose. But on the palate? Holy cow. Rich fruit, still great acidity. It throws a bit of sediment but completely worth it. Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

Still singing. Good balance of flavors. Wouldn't wait a lot longer.

Excellent with red salmon. Loads of cherry fruit in this one. I would be drinking these if you have them. This wine was as good or better on night two. 92 points.

I heard earlier in the day that Adam and Dianna Lee sold Siduri and Novy to Jackson Family Wines. I am very happy for all the parties involved as JFW gets a top-notch brand and the Lees get oodles of cash, no doubt. In honor of the change, I pulled this wine. Still really big fruit, but nicely balanced, even at 14.3%. I hope the wines remain this good. thedrunkencyclist.com

A lot of light shines through the pretty red color in the glass. Very nice nose of red berry fruit. Sure enough initial mouth sensation is red cherry. Some kind of effervescent fizz. I little bitter on the back of the throat. Not a lot of power, here. Good acid, mellow tannin. Medium-bodied wine means light for a red. A good wine. Fairly easy to drink, but still a tad too fruity for me to rave over.

Drank very well.

Expensive maderized prune juice!

maroon, in color. cherry, floral, green, spice, earth, soil, smoky, vanilla, toast, oak, on the nose. medium acid, medium-high tannins, on the finish.

2007 vintage

Ripe dark cherry and spice aromas and flavors with floral notes culminating in a long finish.

Popped and poured. We picked these up from the winery a few years ago. A really great nose of cherry and spice, on the palate, the fruit was incredible, but not overblown by any means. Once again, Adam Lee does a superb job of balance--the fruit is there, but so is the right amount of acid and tannin. Really spectacular.

Plenty of life in this bottle. A great example of what California Pinot should be, IMO. Ripe, but with good acidity and flavorful finish. Not heavy at all.

2007 vintage

Similar to previous bottles, but sadly, the gorgeous acidity that once filled mid-palate has faded from this bottle. Drink any remaining sooner, rather than later. [14.3% abv.; $30.00].

Wonderfully balanced, great finish. Plenty of life left in this one. Too bad I only have one bottle.

2007 vintage

this wine is even better than when I had it last. the balance of fruit and acidity is superb. plenty of life left in this wine.

2007 vintage

Nicely balanced.

2007 vintage

nose: sweet cherries, some vanilla taste: cherries, strawberries, hints of vanilla, great acidity. drink now or hold.

2007 vintage

Pleasant floral nose with ripe cherries and blackberries. Densely concentrated fruit forward palate with black cherry and a strong cola character that carries though on a lush finish of cherry and cream. Quite good, though maybe a little more forward with lower acidity than I prefer. Still, strong effort for the style and price.

2007 vintage

light syrup with sweet cherry and fruit. Not a serious wine, no minerals, earth or other serious elements.

ditto Bacchant

Love this wine. Our bottles have been fairly dark in color, though I know all are not. Some tell-tale Pinot funk comes across on the nose. As for the palate, think fresh, ripe, sweet strawberry up front, followed by tart & tangy cranberry through the long, refreshing finish. We stumbled into a pocket of 8 beautiful bottles here! Thankfully, a few remain. [14.3% abv,; $ 30.00].

So far my favorite Siduri pinot. Wonderful wine with some new and old world style. Just got better over 2-3 hrs. Just wish I had more.

2007 vintage

Nice cherry entry into the mouth. Some cola-like effervescence. Medium body, about what you would expect for a RRV pinot from a warm year. I preferred the '06 Brittan Basalt, but Blythe, our most sensitive taster, liked this much more.
