2006 Siduri Sapphire Hill Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.4% alc., 295 cases, $40. Siduri has sourced
fruit from this vineyard since 2000. This is consistently one of Siduri’s most elegant bottlings. 13 barrels out of
38 were chosen for this vineyard-designated wine.
·
A demurely colored and lighter weighted wine of great
finesse with oak-kissed strawberries and cherries running throughout. The gossamer tannins create a silky
texture. Very approachable, but leans a little heavily on oak.
