Decent wine for the $$ in particular. If these ratings were $$ adjusted I'd bump it a couple of points, but the wine is showing age now. Drink over 2015.

14.1% alcohol. Black cherry color. Initially a touch of earthy funk on the nose, with black cherry, blackberry, and rich earth notes. In the mouth, supple and with a very nice texture, showing generous black cherry and blackberry fruit and surprising structure -- strong acidity and a somewhat tannic back end. There are good earthy undertones and a bit of rusticity. This could use a bit more time. But it is vibrant and inviting. A-

What can I say........I bought a 2nd case at Costco for every day drinking...Just so enjoyable as I try to let some of my pinots mature a little...I want to drink them all right NOW.

Consumed over 2 days, note from day 2. Nose: Medium plus expressiveness, smoke, black cherry, and raspberry. Palate: Light to medium bodied, smoke and red fruit up front, shows a spicy kick through the mid-palate that dominates the back-end and persists through a lengthy finish. A pretty decent QPR for $20+.

Not complicated but very nice. Vanilla and cherry nose. Good fruit and mouth feel. A little tannin and acid in finish. Not sure it will last long but great as is.

I don't want to keep on repeating myself.....This is such an enjoyable wine. Second night found the tannins just about gone and the fruit, cherries, more evident without being jammy. Enjoyable delicious finish.

Opened for ~ 6 hours. This is some seriously killer pinot! Floral and cherry notes on the nose with delicious spices and hint of oak on the palate with a tasty finish.

Good grief....didn't decant...nothin'... just opened and poured and was amazed at the bigness of this pinot. Lots of cherry and some spice, or something that gave it zip. Nice finish full of sweet cherries and I think raspberries. Wish I'd bought a lot more. Folks are saying it's young...zowie, what will it be like in a couple of years?!?

Darker ruby red. Rich, others have said plush and I agree with that word, almost thick in the mouth. Bramble, black cherry, wild berry, light violet, nose. Odd to say, but a lot going on without a lot of complexity. Very direct and primary. Nice wine, fair value. Medium finish.

Solid New World Pinot. Plush black cherry, decent acidity, and just enough back-end tannins to keep things interesting. Worthy QPR. [14.1% abv.; $18.00].

Mineral, stone, some spice and a little earth on the nose. Soft, mixed red and dark fruit, with some cherry notes on the finish.

This wine is declining. What is it with Siduri? These wines do not stand up to time. I think ey are meant for the restaurant channel.
