2015 Siduri Betty Ann Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.9% alc., 100 cases, $55, screwcap. Released September 2017. Clone “828.” Revitalizing this vineyard. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Brooding aromas of black fruits and smoky oak. Aggressive onslaught of smoky black cherry and blackberry fruits in a ultra ripe style that has a delicious juiciness. There are enough tannins and acidity to harness the fruit load and the alcohol is submerged, so the wine touts commendable balance. Pinot purists will be turned off by the enormity of the bombastic fruit, but the wine will delight others who cherish luscious, sappy fruit. Totally unique among the Siduri lineup. Score: 90.

2014 Siduri Betty Ann Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.33, TA 0.70, 221 cases, $52, screwcap. Released September 16, 2016. 100% clone “828.” Aged in two once-used and 3-to-4-year-old French oak barrels. · Very dark violet color in the glass. The nose is uncommonly fruity with scents of an array of purple and black fruits. Powerful, even jammy fruit wakes up the palate. Good energy from vibrant acidity, but the aggressive fruit tannins overwhelm the boisterous, well-ripened dark cherry fruit. This rugged wine veers to Syrah in character and may not appeal to Pinot Noir purists. Score: 87. Reviewed October 30, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
