Siduri explores two exceptional areas within Santa Barbara County that are exceptionally well - suited for growing Pinot Noir - Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills. Pinot Noirs from the Santa Maria Valley provide "crunchy" fresh fruits that are laden with spice notes, while Pinot Noirs from the Sta. Rita Hills provide opulent red and black fruits that jump from the glass with tremendous energy. The marriage of these two distinctive growing areas provides a portrait of a beautiful place to grow cool - climate Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes: Sultry aromas of dense Asian spice, Rainier cherries, hoisin sauce, and nutmeg. Unctuous and expansive on the palate with supple tannins and flavors of crunchy plum, baking spice, dark chocolate, and herbal nuances.

Suggested Pairing: Classic Beef Bourguignon

First established in 1982, the Gerries re-named the existing vineyard after Paul’s mother when they purchased the estate in 1992. Marjorie is the oldest vineyard on the estate. Though mostly replanted, the 8.4 acres of Pinot Noir on a gently sloping bench of moderately deep volcanic soil in the heart of the hillside produce small, highly concentrated clusters. The resulting wines are concentrated and graceful with a distinct texture and elegance that make this a distinguished site.

Tasting Notes: Alluring aromas of muddled raspberry, nutmeg, coriander seed, and rose petals carry over to the palate with rich, concentrated fruit and floral nuances. Powerful yet elegant tannins and bright acidity provide balance and structure.

Tasting Notes: Floral, umami, and savory characters of rose petals, shiitake mushrooms, and charcuterie intermingle with crunchy cherry and strawberry rhubarb. Firm, textural tannins and fresh acidity lead to a persistent finish.

Pairing Suggestion: Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash

Aging Suggestions: Drinking well now and can age until 2042

The color is a rich scarlet-red, with opulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of caramel.

It is perfectly balanced with refreshing acidity, plush weight on the mid-palate and a wonderfully supple texture. The expansive fruit flavors carry through to a long, pure and persistent finish. When asked to describe this wine, I simply say it’s like a taste of Christmas, all year long.

Exotic, vibrant red fruits and dried flower aromas. Vivid and very attractive flavors. Although charming now, it will continue to improve over the couple of several years.

"The fruit was hand-harvested September 26th to October 5th, 2017. After a 5 to 10 day cold soak, the grapes underwent traditional vinification methods, including foot crushing, whole cluster fermentation with native yeast, malolactic fermentation on lees, and gravity transfer. The wine was aged in Francois Frères barrels (Bertrange Forest) for 19 months and was bottled unfiltered."

Robert Mondavi believed that Pinot Noirs from the Central Coast offer an incredible depth of varietal flavor. Grapes from vineyards resting between the Pacific Ocean and mountains create a naturally complex taste. Our 2022 Central Coast Pinot Noir is blended from high-quality vineyards in both warmer and cooler climates. The warmer climates bring notes of bright red cherries and ripe red currants. The cooler climates impart notes of violet, bright acidity, and soft tannins. Oak aging creates a finish of tobacco and vanilla bean. Enjoy with sweet-spice roasted or red-fruit infused white meats, poultry and duck, savory seafood, and semi-soft cheeses.
