  I agree with my tasting note of 3 months ago, this wine is delicious and at its peak !!
  Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, removed easily. Consumed at dinner with friends. This balanced wine displayed great fruit and revealed Burgundian complexity as it opened. Medium ruby color with modest oxidation and medium clarity. Aromas of red cherry and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir that may have more years of life remaining, fortunately I still have two bottles of this vintage remaining in the cellar. A great fruit sources from the fabled Hirsch Vineyard and great winemaking from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltis combine to consistently produce a fine Pinot Noir.

  Just like the other 2009 Siduri Pinot Noirs, this wine is delicious and at its peak !!
  Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, removed easily. Consumed at dinner with friends. This balanced wine displayed great fruit and revealed Burgundian complexity as it opened. Medium ruby color with modest oxidation and medium clarity. Aromas of red cherry and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir that may have more years of life remaining, fortunately I still have three bottles of this vintage remaining in the cellar. A great fruit sources from the fabled Hirsch Vineyard which is located on a series of ridge tops ranging in elevation from 1,200 to 1,550 feet near the Pacific 12 miles north of Jenner in the far west part of the Sonoma Coast appellation of Sonoma County. Dijon 114, Dijon 777, Pommard and Swann clones planted on soils of Hugo gravelly loam and Hugo-Josephine complex. All of these elements and great winemaking from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltis combine to consistently produce a fine Pinot Noir.

  A big example of a Hirsch Pinot Noir. Nice wine made in a less than elegant style, but very good!
