Quite subtle at first on the nose, this bottling offers baked red-cherry aromas and a dusting of soil with some swirling. The palate blends dark red cherry with touches of sagebrush and wild thyme, lifted by a hint of white pepper.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard opens with smoke, tar and turned earth over a core of black fruit with black tea hints. Light to medium-bodied, it offers spicy dark fruits in the mouth, with firm, grainy tannins and good freshness on the long finish.

• Wine Spectator: Fresh, with lively raspberry and cherry flavors that feature light spicy notes. Fruity finish.

Producer Information

Siduri Winery is a Californian wine producer with a focus on cool-climate Pinot Noir wines. It is named after the Babylonian Goddess Siduri – a female divinity associated with fermentation, in particular of wine and beer. The winery was founded by Texans Adam Lee and Dianna Novy. After several years of working in small, family-owned wineries in California, the pair released the estate’s first wine in 1994. Today, Siduri partners with twenty different vineyards that it has long term relationships with, making a range of varietal single-vineyard wines. Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from some of the West Coast’s most well-known AVAs, including Sonoma County, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Rita Hills. In 2019, the Siduri portfolio included a Chardonnnay sourced from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. In the winery, vineyard blocks and clones are vinified separately in order to maintain control of blending and emphasize the specific nuances of each terroir. Wines are primarily bottled unfiltered and unfined with the principle of minimal intervention applied throughout the entire winemaking process. Siduri Winery has been under the ownership of Jackson Family Wines since 2012.
