10/26/2011 - n8540 wrote: 85 pointsPop and poured. Nose is of dark fruit, first 5 minutes it's drinking pretty tight. A bit acidic on the finish. Hopefully it opens up a little with some air. Overall, not bad, just nothing spectacular. |

2005 Siduri Pinot Noir Sapphire Hill VineyardRussian River Valley more |
6/4/2010 - n8540 wrote: 85 pointsDrank side-by-side with another Pinot Noir, the Siduri was very hazy which makes me wonder if something was going on in this batch (the bottle was stored properly and I see that other people commented on the haze). At first the nose was huge and fruity, and the taste similar with a medium/long finish. After about an hour, the wine completely closed up. If you drink this wine in the first hour, it tastes like 90 points (the haze doesn't bother me). After the first hour, this wine becomes an 80. |

8/21/2009 - n8540 wrote: flawedImpossible to rate this bottle of wine. This is exactly why any newer bottle of Sineann does not have corks. my bottle didn't have TCA, but the subtlety of the wine is overpowered with the flavor of cork. |
