Winemaker Notes
This Pinot Noir offers aromas of fresh cranberry, red plum, tea leaf, sage and boysenberry linger on the nose. Bright, fresh acidity hits the palate up towards the front. Juicy, modest texture in the mid-palate with delicate tannins.

Sleek and polished, with elegantly layered raspberry, orange peel and savory cinnamon flavors that linger toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2025.

Wine Enthusiast
Well built from seven clones and seven vineyards spanning three AVAs, this is instantly appealing for its pretty boysenberry and cherry fruit, highlights of baking spices, and delicate, tea-touched tannins. Best of all, it's made in sufficient quantities to be widely available.

Two Pinot Noir lovers, Adam and Dianna Lee, founded Siduri Wines in 1994. They produced only four and a half barrels of Pinot Noir that first vintage. Now they handcraft over 10,000 cases of Pinot Noir from vineyards ranging from Oregon's Willamette Valley down to the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Lucia Highlands AVAs. Each Pinot Noir is created using gravity flow and minimal intervention, with the goal of reflecting the unique terroir of each particular vineyard. Siduri Wines and its sibling, Novy Family Wines have received the Wine Spectator's New York Wine Experience "Critics Choice" recognition a combined seven times since 2004.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
