Last night we drank the 2007 Siduri Pinot Noir Sonoma County. I must say I was impressed. In this day and age, to find a highly rated, delicious Pinot Noir for under $35 (let alone priced at $22), is a rare find.
Wine Spectator finds the 2007 Siduri Pinot Noir a winner!
Wine Spectator Magazine also loves the 2007 Siduri Pinot Noir Sonoma County as well, saying: “Exhibits a complex, concentrated mix of berry, floral-lavendar, spice and mineral notes that are well-distributed, full-bodied and polished, fanning out nicely on the finish.” They rated it 90 points which is excellent. I had no idea what the name of this winery came from so I did a bit of research. Siduri is named for the Babylonian Goddess of wine, who, in Babylonian mythology, held the wine of eternal life. Today, along with the 2007 Siduri Pinot Noir Sonoma County, Siduri produces single vineyard offerings from 20 different vineyards stretching from Santa Barbara north to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The winery has been fortunate enough to establish relationships with top tier growers/vineyards including: Pisoni, Van der Kamp and Clos Pepe . All of their Pinot Noir is produced unfiltered and unfined in an effort to maximize the expression of these very diverse sites. Siduri is unique in the breadth and depth of our single varietal focus.
The owners of Siduri vineyards spare no expense in order to make the best possible wines.
For the owners, Adam and Dianna Lee, the enjoyment of making their own wines is the ability to do it their way, without compromise. Although it is necessary to be able to adapt to new circumstances with each and every vintage, they have found that these principles hold true year after year. – A belief that great wine is made in the vineyard. – Only with great grapes can great wines be produced. – They purchase the majority of their fruit by the acre rather than by the ton. – They believe in minimal intervention winemaking. – Most importantly, they believe that wine should be a pleasure to drink. – If you don’t like the way a wine tastes, what’s the point? So give the 2007 Siduri Pinot Noir Sonoma County a try, you will not be disappointed. We have a limited amount of cases so don’t delay in picking some up online at wineontheway.com. For $22 a bottle this is truly a steal. Cheers!
