Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style. "Intense and pure, with vivid boysenberry and huckleberry flavors that are racy and complex. Well-focused, long and persistent on the finish. Drink now through 2017. 1,639 cases made." Dec 2011

Winery:  "The 2010 Siduri Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a particularly impressive wine. On opening it shows dark rich brambleberry and rhubarb fruits, along with hints of rose petals, sandalwood, and incense. Lush and spicy on the creamy midpalate, the wine glides to a long, balanced finish. This wine is so easy to drink that you will find yourself reaching for a second bottle before the evening is over."

Wired For Wine:  The lush intensity of this Siduri Russian River Pinot Noir makes it a real standout among Pinots. It goes beautifully with chicken, duck and salmon, as well as veal chops, lean beef and lamb. What's your pleasure? The earthy side of this Pinot makes it a natural with a starter of grilled portobello, arugula and shaved Parmigiano-reggiano salad, or baby beets,arugula and goat cheese. For an entree, simple pan-roasted chicken with Swiss chard and feta crostinis will compliment the racy purity of the Siduri like a pro. Grilled salmon with wild rice and a roasted red pepper vinaigrette will pick up on this Russian River red's spicy side very nicely. Another terrific option is a classic grilled veal chop sprinkled with sea salt, served with oven-roasted plum tomatoes. A great finish to the meal is a semi-firm Portuguese Amarelo cheese. It's made with sheep and goat milk, and has a lovely tangy flavor with a gentle hint of bitterness at the finish which is perfect for showcasing the spicy side of this intense and long-finishing California Pinot.
