Siduri's 1998 Pinot Noir Muirfield Vineyard was cropped at only 1.3 tons per acre. Revealing an intriguing Vosne-Romanee style, it possesses a dark ruby color as well as a sweet, toasty nose with aromas of black cherry and raspberry fruit, medium body, sweet tannin, high but well-hidden alcohol (13.9%), and an excellent finish. It should be drinkable upon release next year, and evolve nicely for 5-6 years. Tel. (707) 578-3882; Fax (707) 578-3884 (release date 9/00)
