2014 Siduri Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., 1,011 cases, $65, screwcap. Released February 1, 2016. Bottled without fining or filtration. Both vegan and gluten free. · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. Brooding, mysterious aromas of blackberry compote, meaty black grapes and iron. Clearly a special, full-bodied and luscious wine that balances power with charm. The array of heady black fruits is dusted by earthy complexity and framed by mellow tannins that are unusually tame for a Pisoni Pinot Noir. There is beautiful integration of acidity, oak and alcohol, with a remarkably long, royally endowed finish. The pedigree really stands out in this sublime offering. Score: 94.
