2016 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills
Peg Melnik, Press Democrat, CA 4½ stars

This is a gorgeous pinot noir with tangy fruit and vibrant acidity. It’s concentrated with both red and black fruit, layered with earthy and spice notes. Lingering finish. Impressive. 4½ stars.

2016 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills
Fredric Koeppel, Bigger Than Your Head Excellent

Radiant dark ruby hue shading to utter transparency; the typical array of baking spices and floral elements: cloves with a grating of nutmeg, notes of rose petal and lilac; macerated red and black cherries and currants with hints of cranberry and rhubarb; keen acidity drives a spare, supple texture ; finish adorned with traces of mint, sage and pomegranate. Lovely expression of the grape. Now through 2022 to ’23. Excellent.

Dave Eckert, The Kansas City Star, MO Dave Eckert shares some of his favorite domestic white and red wines for winter

This Pinot is a great introduction to the Pinots of the Santa Lucia Highlands, which are generally fuller-bodied and higher in alcohol than most California Pinot Noirs. What I enjoy about SLH Pinots in general, and this one in particular, is the fact that they maintain all the qualities I love in Pinot – just in a bigger, bolder package.

Sara Lehman, Somm in the City Top 14 Wines For February 14th!

Top 14 Wines For February 14th! This wine has amazing concentration and opens up after an hour or two. It has notes of black fruit, menthol, and tobacco with smooth tannins and a balanced finish. This wine can easily age but is certainly drinkable now and would go well with meat sauces, pasta, eggplant parmesan, and more!

Snatched up by Jackson Family Wines, Siduri’s vision – and quality – prevail Dark cherry, pomegranate and herbs, along with a distinct minerally/wet stones aspect (like San Pellegrino), on the effusive nose. Truly a dark star of a pinot on the palate, supple but concentrated, rich with deep, dark cherry fruit, raspberry, pomegranate and damson plum. Fascinating and mysterious (the more you swirl, the more you get), it's a blend of six different cool-climate vineyards wherein somehow the whole effect is greater than the sum of the parts. A beguiling and sultry pinot in all aspects.

Jon Thorsen, Reverse Wine Snob Saturday Splurge

Saturday Splurge The 2016 Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir begins with a very pleasing aroma of cranberry, lots of red and black cherry and some savory undertones of herbs and spice. Tasting reveals a smooth and balanced palate with excellent spice notes. There’s quite a bit of oak influence as well but it blends beautifully with the concentrated berry fruit. The wine gains a lot of complexity as it has more air so this is definitely one to sip and savor in your glass as it evolves. It ends dry and quite long. This is really excellent Pinot Noir!

This is a lovely pinot noir that impresses with its breath. A touch earthy, with aromas and flavors of blackberry, cassis and tobacco. Rich, yet balanced. Smart. 4 stars.

Fredric Koeppel, Bigger Than Your Head Very Good+

A beguiling transparent medium ruby hue; immediate impression of fresh cherries and raspberries; warm, ripe and fleshy but with a core of dusty graphite minerality; brings up seductive elements of rhubarb and pomegranate, cloves and sandalwood; clean acidity drives energy through to a dry, spicy, slightly tannic finish. Now through 2021 to ’23. Very Good+.

Wes Marshall, The Austin Chronicle, TX Weekend Wine August 18 is National Pinot Noir Day!

Weekend Wine August 18 is National Pinot Noir Day! One of the best ways to discover the Siduri magic is to try their entry level wine the Russian River Pinot ($35). This is all the Pinot most people will ever need, amply proving the seductiveness of the grape with big red fruit and berry aromas and the kind of mouthfeel that matches so seamlessly with everything from Beef Bourguignon to broiled salmon. If the perfumed aromas grab you and you want to move up, try the Rosella’s Vineyard wine from the Santa Lucia Highlands ($55). If that sounds like a lot of cash, start saving your money. It’s cheaper than most addictive drugs, and certainly a lot more pleasurable.

A number of vineyards contributed to this utterly delicious and layered Pinot. It brims with tangy cherry, pomegranate and raspberry fruit, accented by hints of black tea, cola, vanilla and spice. It’s structured, polished and perfect for grilled duck and lamb burgers.

Ronn Wiegand, Restaurant Wine 4 stars, Excellent

All four wines have screw cap closures, and all are excellent wines. The 2016 RRV is a luscious, complex wine that is full bodied, velvety in texture, moderately rich, and lightly oaky wine with a long finish. In aroma/flavor, it tastes of black cherry, raspberry, plum, black tea, and spicy oak. 4 stars, excellent.

Erin Lynch, Platings + Pairings DIY Four-Course Dinner Paired with Oregon Pinot Noir

DIY Four-Course Dinner Paired with Oregon Pinot Noir As the starter, I chose a vegetable that can traditionally be tough to pair with wine – brussels sprouts. Pinot Noir tackles the challenge of pairing with this veggie because its earthy characteristics don’t overpower the brussels sprouts, while the Pinot’s savory notes play nicely with the nutty parmesan cheese and the tangy mustard. Siduri’s 2015 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir ($25) was our favorite pairing for this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Mustard & Parmesan. With hints of dried berries, earthy notes and a bright acidity, it was the perfect match for this tangy, umami-filled salad.

Dennis Schaefer, Santa Barbara News-Press, CA Snatched up by Jackson Family Wines, Siduri’s vision – and quality – prevail

Snatched up by Jackson Family Wines, Siduri’s vision – and quality – prevail No matter who makes wine from this vineyard, it's outstanding and this Siduri is no exception. Deep dish black fruit on the nose, all big and boisterous, plus red fruit in the mix as well. On the palate, luxurious flavors of black plum, blackberry and boysenberry plus mushroom and earthiness around the edges. When I say deep and dark, this one plummets down the pinot noir rabbit hole. Big but balanced, this has all the elements of pinot perfection perhaps because of the grape grower. As Mr. Lee readily admits, sometimes he just has to stay out of the way of great grapes and let them go down their natural path. A very complete and well-rounded wine that you will not soon forget. I know it's early in the year, but there's no question in my mind that this will be on my top pinot list for 2019. Extraordinary.

Deep ruby shading to an ephemeral magenta rim; another exotic entry in this roster: deeply spiced and macerated compote of red and black cherries and currants; sassafras, sandalwood, rhubarb; fairly ripe and fleshy, pulls up lilac and talc with undertones of graphite and briery earthiness; as well as underbrush and some rooty healing tea. Now through 2022 to ’25. Excellent.

Snatched up by Jackson Family Wines, Siduri’s vision – and quality – prevail Dark extracted color and plenty of dark fruit on the nose, including black cherry, red cherry, blackberry, espresso and savory spice elements. Intense and concentrated in the mouth, with plenty of cherry again but with strawberry and a touch of espresso, cocoa powder, cinnamon and clove. A big-boned but well-structured pinot that's fun to drink right now but will undoubtedly age gracefully for five or 10 years.

A perfect marriage of elegance and power. Now through 2024 to ’26. Exceptional.

2015 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton
Marc Hinton, Enobytes.com Excellent

The Yamhill-Carlton vineyards in Willamette Valley are highly prized among Pinot noir winemakers everywhere, and the wines Adam Lee produces from there should also be highly prized. This 2015 vintage is a powerful wine vinted from grapes that survived one of the hottest summers of all time in the Willamette Valley. Cherry, minerals and wet earth aromas lead the olfactory parade, pontificating the palate to pursue the presupposition of flavor perfection to follow. Yeah, a whole lot of cherryliciousness, wet tobacco and sage flavors followed. Spore it up with Porcini, Shitake, Lobster or Morel mushrooms to release all of the earthy nuances this wine can provide. Excellent.
