Siduri Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Winery Notes
Siduri, named for the Babylonian goddess of wine, is the result of our founders, Adam Lee and Dianna Novy’s, mutual love of Pinot Noir, and their dream that they could make great wines of their own. They spent years working at small, family-owned wineries and using any and all free time learning everything they could about growing grapes and making wine. In 1994, they released the inaugural vintage of Siduri to critical acclaim. Today, Siduri’s breadth and depth of Pinot Noirs is truly unique. We specialize in cool-climate Pinot Noir, producing single-vineyard designate wines from over twenty exceptional vineyard sites stretching from California’s Santa Barbara County to the Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Our winemaking goal is to produce wine that best captures the distinct flavor and character of a given vineyard site. Whenever possible we let the wine make itself. We do not want to do anything to the wine that isn’t absolutely necessary. We believe in bottling our wines un-filtered and un-fined. In the vast majority of cases we have been able to achieve this, with only a handful being filtered, and none of the Pinot Noirs being fined. We avoid these techniques as we believe they have the potential to strip a wine of its flavor. We believe that the best Pinot Noirs express their origins. But perhaps most importantly, we believe that wine should be a pleasure, that serious wine and serious fun aren’t mutually exclusive. So in our drive to make great Pinot Noir, we ultimately hope for something relatively simple—good wine to be enjoyed with good friends, good family and good food.

Vineyard Notes
The key to our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is in the diversity of sources. This sounds odd, given that the wine comes entirely from within the Russian River Valley AVA, but this region is large and possesses a myriad of soils, exposures, and unique terroirs that together produce a superb representation of the whole of the Russian River Valley. This Pinot Noir offering showcases this area in all its complexity while also making for a red wine that is imminently drinkable upon release.
