  March 8, 2018 - Still very dark in color, earlier vintages were more ruby red. Big nose with red currants, cherries, herbs, clove, pepper, and earth. A very interesting nose to be sure. Medium bodied with good acidity and structure. Layers of flavor with red and black cherry, clove, floral, herbs and ending with some forest floor. There is still a hint of tannin in the long finish. Well balanced. In a really good place now, not sure if it will improve with further age, but isn't going downhill anytime soon. Will leave my last bottle for another few years.

  July 7, 2017 - Dark ruby color. Aromas of juicy red currants, cherries, mixed with rhubarb, wild herbs, creosote, clove, pepper, lots going on! Medium/full-bodied with plenty of weight and structure but the tannins are accessible and the acidity is fresh. Plump but tangy red an black cherry fruit, along with clove, rose petals, rhubarb, spicy herbs. Hints of mushroom and sage will peek out more with time, this will be even better in three years or so but still very good now.

  May 22, 2016 - Very delicious. Not as ripe as other siduri bottlings. Representative of the site. Good earth, spice and Unami in a way. Why I love hirsch fruit. Drinking great now. Dare I say I like it more than hirsch's San Andreas bottling? Tough call with so much great 2012 Sonoma coast Pinot.
