(796 views) | | | Tasted by davidspieker on 7/12/2022 & rated 87 points: Just ok. Ripe cherry and cola flavors but a bit flat. (868 views) | | | Tasted by KaupCava on 6/27/2022 & rated 92 points: Great wine with grilled King Salmon! (820 views) | | | Tasted by caspernick on 3/20/2022 & rated 91 points: Our Virtual Wine Tasting group has drunk numerous Pinot Noirs over the past 2 years. This one hails from the southerly Santa Barbara county. I wanted to introduce a different style of Pinot to show how climactic differences and terroir can affect a single varietal wine. I was not disappointed with my choice. This medium-ruby wine had very defined legs in the glass and packs a 14% ABV punch. Aromas of black cherry, root beer, cola, Dr. Pepper, ripe raspberry, cinnamon, nutmeg and a saline note. The palate had medium tannins, medium (-) acidity, a medium weight body and brooding flavors of cranberry, mulling spices, black cherry and a tart cherry finish. 14/20 from me and 91 points for this $20 wine makes it a 5 star effort to drink over the next 5 years.

Pleasant, medium bodied, easy drinkable, but not worth the $70+ they would have charged (1057 views) | | | Tasted by Wine on17 on 12/29/2021 & rated 85 points: Not flawed but not good. Everything was off, from the nondescript nose to the flat finish.

Better integrated and easier on the finish. (775 views) | | | Tasted by wino121 on 5/31/2021 & rated 90 points: Vinturied into decant, consumed over several hours.
A terrific Pinot on the dime, this has all the fruit and nuances that you get from the Santa Rita Siduri ava Pinots.
It really popped after a few hours, which leads me to believe it might age for a few more years as well.
Drink now thru 2024/6 (878 views) | | | Tasted by KaupCava on 4/14/2021 & rated 88 points: Light tea and strawberry cherry nose
Warm cinnamon spice and red cherry pie filling, with light vanilla oak
Fair finish (688 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 11/24/2020 & rated 89 points: The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $30. Plenty of meat here, maybe some blood and iodine for good measure with some tart cherry and cranberry behind all that livestock. Plenty of fruit on the palate, but might be lacking in the acidity department just a bit. Still, good flavors. Very Good. 89 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com (1377 views) | | | Tasted by wdlohr on 11/19/2020 & rated 88 points: medium red, fruity and jammy, some blended elements of tannin and chocolate (721 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 10/31/2020 & rated 89 points: Siduri's "entry-level" Santa Barbara County Pinot offers a lot of bang for the buck. Light-to-medium ruby in color, it delivers strawberry, cranberry, allspice, earth and licorice aromas that are followed by similar flavors on the light-to-medium-bodied palate. Freshly acidic, softly oaked and seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%), it has tannins that are light in weight but carry a bit of grip, giving the wine a sense of structure and balance. Solid on the middle palate, it finishes with medium length and good lift. Delicious now, this should be at its best over the next 3-4 years. Drink now-2024. (972 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/8/2020 & rated 88 points: Light ruby color. Nose shows jammy raspberries, juicy black cherries, with cola, roses, and sage notes. Full-bodied on the palate with chewy tannins and moderate acidity, a ripe but lively feel. Dark cherries, super ripe plums, raspberry jam fruit, which is laced well with notes of tobacco, mint, earth and leaves. Touches of vanilla and cola. Fun and accessible style but it shows some solid depth and complexity for the price. (871 views) | | | Tasted by Griffiths on 3/4/2020 & rated 88 points: For a younger vintage, drinking nice now. Great QPR. (707 views) | | | Tasted by Paul Glenn on 2/27/2020 & rated 90 points: Very enjoyable. (676 views) | | | Tasted by sdwineguru on 1/19/2020 & rated 89 points: 2018 Siduri Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County $22. Light-mid ruby; red cherry, wood, old roses nose; mid-body; balanced; decent Pinot flavor; long semi-hot (14.5 alc.) finish. with pork dishes, lighter sauces. 15.5 UC Davis scale, 89 other scales.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
