Tasted. Ripe and rich on the nose and palate, A bit over the top for me. Blackberry and dark raspberry fruit, lots of vanilla, soft texture. A style many will love. 90+pts.

Siduri & Novy Tasting (Santa Rosa, CA): Barrel sample. So incredibly rich on the nose, all sorts of berries, spice, vanilla, but the wine clearly needs more time to show its full aromatic potential. Bold and rich yet balanced and inviting on the palate. A ton of complexity to the fruit and spice in this wine. I'd love to try this again once it's been bottled and had some time to settle down.

Beautiful ripe cherry and raspberry fruit with mild oak and licorice. The tannins are soft. Definitely ready to drink now.

Siduri Barrel tasting with Catherine August 2013 (Siduri Winery Santa Rosa): Huge nose leaps from the glass--a lush wonderfully rounded wine, good acidity, cherry notes, some spice--complexity may be overshadowed somewhat by the fruit but I would expect this wine to develop nicely.
