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.

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.

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.
