Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of rubber tire, cardamom, black berries and dark plums. Flavors of raspberries and tangy cherries. Tart acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink with air or hold.

A delicious Pinot that is holding strong after nearly 10 years. Great fruit with a small touch of spice. Dark red fruits - maybe a little blue as well. Not much on the nose but lots of stuffing. Very nice.

Agree with JOJ comments. Evolvong nicely in the glass. The strawberry jam or sweet-tart quality throws me off a little. Hope that subsides on day two. Lots of fresh acid and a myriad of red fruits, citrus and spices. Very interesting wine

This really has evolved into a nice wine. On the nice, orange peel, Asian spice, flowers, cranberry, and cinnamon. Palate explodes with cherry, citrus, and cranberry, with notes of wet rock and sweet tarts. Tannin still present, with nice counterbalancing acidity. Bravo.

Popped, poured and followed over 4 hours thus far (still have about half a bottle left). Plenty of tea spices and even more of the tell-tale pink grapefruit aromas on the nose to tell you you're drinking Rosella's fruit. The palate is a little sharp and angular, but the black cherry and plumb-skinned fruit is clean, ripe, fresh and spritely...which I like. She finishes a little sweet and with a mildly alcoholic kick (14.1%abv)...which I don't like. Not overly complex, but more than kept my interest. Nice, but I'm not upset that I drank my 1 and only bottle purchased on release.

(Siduri Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard) Group's #5 (my #4) – 61 pts.; 0, 0, 6, 1 – odd, reduced nose of red fruit and apple; palate much like the nose, with tart cherry and black cherry fruit, lime and quinine, a little disjointed; short-medium finish
