2015 Siduri Parson’s Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 667 cases, $50, screwcap. Released April 2017. Vineyard located west of Santa Rosa. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Lovely aroma of fresh cherries, cola and fertile earth. Pleasingly forward and fruit driven, with a mid weight plus core of earthy black cherry and purple berry fruits. Nicely composed with good harmony. Should develop more nuance with more time in bottle. Score: 90. Reviewed September 24, 2017 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2012 Siduri Parson’s Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.9% alc., 258 cases, $50. Released April 2014. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Black fruits are featured with a heavy dose of charred oak and cigar box evident on the nose and palate. Luscious black cherry and blackberry core with muscular, slightly astringent tannins and a generous finish filled with plenty of fruit goodness. An awkward bruiser right now that will benefit from more time in bottle. Score: 87-88. Reviewed April 19, 2014 WINERY » ARTICLE »
