The 2006 Pinot Noir Shaw Mountain Vineyard is medium ruby-colored with spicy/brambly red fruit aromas, damp earth, and cigar box notes. On the palate it has excellent concentration and grip, a smooth texture, savory flavors, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. It will be at its best from 2010 to 2018.

The 2002 Pinot Noir Shaw Mountain Vineyard displays a nose of super-ripe, plummy blackberries and dark cherries. Its broad, jammy attack is immensely seductive, revealing spiced, sweet dark berry compotes in a lush, generous format. Its finish compresses, however, displaying somewhat dusty tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2013.Tel. (707) 578-3882 www.siduri.com
