2014 Siduri Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., pH 3.54, TA 0.63, 2,747 cases, $35, screwcap. Release November 16, 2016. A blend of John Sebastiano, Clos Pepe, Lindley and Cargasacchi vineyards.Good amount of whole cluster fermentation. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. A highly expressive wine with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and a bit of spice and rose petal. Mid to full-bodied, with a rich entry, rich mid palate presence, and a rich, unusually long finish. A bold, hedonistic wine, yet there is enough balancing acidity to escape a jammy demeanor. The velvety tannins make for very seductive drinking. An impressive appellation offering. Score: 92.
