Pretty typical bold CA Pinot. Tannin is smooth with some good structure. Good mix of fruit and some pepper/spice. When first opened the barnyard/wet hay was showing strong. Not real complex but full flavors.

This is a great example of Ste. Rita Hills Pinot. This is not fruit forward. The nose is very floral and the mouth feel is slightly dry. The tea and mineral notes are very forward and balance is good. Long finish and mild tannins. Quite complex as the flavors shift in many directions. Absolutely delightful in so many ways!

Ok wine, but not a pinot style I like and I even tasted this after Brian Loring's Keefer Ranch; the styles are similar but Lee huts with a sledgehammer while Loring has more nuances. Be aware these are both Guns and Roses Pinot, loud and heavy but Loring is more Sweet Child of Mine while This Siduri is Welcome to the Jungle

KING'S BEACH VACAY My first taste of a properly cellared older Siduri and the results are good but well short of amazing. Ruby with some browning at the edge. Cherries and toast on the nose. Pleasant flavor of black cherries with damp forest accents. Very smooth but short finish.

Time to drink up. Siduri needs to stop making Pinot and just call it Syrah.
