Siduri has a good track record with this vineyard. The ‘07 is not a longterm ager, but if you’re looking for a complex Russian River Pinot for now and through 2011, this will please. Dry and silky and complex, it has fully ripened cherry, currant, cola, rose petal and spice flavors.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 91

High in acidity and bone dry, this light-colored Pinot seems a bit one-dimensional right now, but I think it was released too early. It should gain momentum by the end of 2007, when the cherry, rhubarb and cola flavors become more integrated with the tannins and oak. If you have to drink it now, decant for several hours.——S.H.(8/1/2007)—— 89
