| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.2 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ken@ampy.com on 10/23/2019 & rated 92 points: PNP at Barrio Star, San Diego. Moderately complex flavors of dark fruits predominate early, nose opens up pleasantly after 30 minutes. I'd decant for 30 minutes to an hour if possible. No obvious signs of age or deterioration, that said it's at or close to its peak at age 13. Tannins are fully resolved, long pleasant finish. What's not to like??? Drink em if you have em. Wish I had more. (316 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 3/9/2012 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Had this at the local BYO. Some really big fruit remains here: blackberry and plum, mostly. On the palate, well balanced and clean, while trying to restrain its ‘bigness’ in that familiar Adam Lee way. Well done and outstanding. (1627 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 3/9/2012 & rated 90 points: Tasted at Hickory Lane 3/9/2012. Retail ~$29. I paid $23 at the winery. This is the second label of Siduri by Adam and Dianna Lee. They use the Siduri name for all their pinots and Novy (Dianna’s maiden name) covers everything else. Is you are ever in Santa Rosa, be sure to get an appointment and visit. Paired with a big sirloin steak. Popped and poured. Some really big fruit remains here: blackberry and plum, mostly. On the palate, well balanced and clean, while trying to restrain its ‘bigness’ in that familiar Adam Lee way. Well done and outstanding.
* http://www.thedrunkencyclist.com (340 views) | | | Tasted by Slvrfish on 11/24/2010 & rated 82 points: decent nose and flavors upfront no complexity or finish. Drank over 2 days (2651 views) | | | Tasted by MystMrQ on 11/2/2010 & rated 86 points: Dark ruby color and great nose. Fruit driven and pleasant but lacking in complexity, a disappointment as Novy is made by Siduri. Modest tannins on finish make this a nice but simple wine best served with food. (2392 views) | | | Tasted by Dwey on 8/31/2010 & rated 90 points: smooth taste, dark purple color, berries with barnyard and toast flavor (2353 views) | | | Tasted by sheyanne on 8/29/2010 & rated 90 points: very smooth. not as peppery or spicy than most syrahs. toasty and oaky. well balanced dark fruit (2340 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/6/2010 & rated 90 points: Dark red violet color; toasty oak, tart black fruit, toast, graphite palate; medium finish 90+ pts. (1510 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 12/27/2009 & rated 88 points: Still young. Popped and poured. Some initial fruit, giving way to vegetal notes. Tannins on the back end present, but not harsh. Give it another 1-3 years, maybe more. (1674 views) | | | Tasted by khmark7 on 8/18/2009 & rated 88 points: Good aromas and structure but a bit lean on day 1. On day 2 it opened up some more and gained a little more weight.

| Novy Family Wines Producer WebsiteSyrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
