Red cherry, strawberry, and rhubarb fruit with subtle earth and spice notes. Nice acidity and long smooth finish. Tasted during a blind vertical against the '05, '07, & '09 versions of this wine. I had this as time top wine!

PnP. Brownish garnet. Impressive fruit expression, showing a complex profile of cherry, earth, pine, floral and Asian spice note aromatically and on the palate. Quite a bright melange. Palate features a fuller round sensation rather than crunchy fruit, but definite presence of soft tannins and light acidity makes this very attractive.
Night 2 - this wine is now an alcoholic mess, very 'hot'. Just checked and it's listed at 15%. I think the charm of the aging, complex fruit made the etoh feel 'round' (sweet) on night one. Based on this, I will drink the rest soon and as a PnP.

Easy to pick out as a Pisoni in a lineup. Color is starting to show its age, but the wine is still very youthful. Expressive aromatics, big and linear fruit with a pleasant and long finish. I've had good luck aging most Siduri Pinots and this was enjoyed when tasting against some "hot" '09s.

Wine is a little disjointed, most prominent flavors are deep and dark, with cedar and anise notes around the edges. Good, but not great at this time. I may wait a year or so to see how secondary characteristics develop--the structure seems in place to allow aging further.
