Image of Siduri via SnoothYou can always tell its cold outside when the winemakers start to come indoors... yesterday ridge watson today Adam Lee of Siduri and Novy fame. Siduri is famous for exquiste pinot noir from both california and oregon.. novy for it's beautiful expressions of syrah.. and the wines today did not disappoint.2010 vintage was a cool one in northern california with a few heat spikes
Siduri Russian River Pinot Noir 2010 spice and lavender and beautiful nose and lots of acidity.. sweet fruit...
Siduri Hawk's View Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2010 ephemeral nose.. hard to describe and once you smell it you have beautiful memories but cant really describe... mushroomy.. good depth of fruit and finish
Siduri Ewald Vineyard 2010 Russian River Valley.. much more fruit forward and still good acidity..
Siduri Rosella Vineyard 2010 forward and good grip texture.
Siduri Clos Pepe Vineyard 2010 good tannin..the last wine tried because it had the most weight and tannin.. fruit also there
Siduri Sonatera Vineyard 2010 mushroomy notes on the front... prettier than expected.. more feminine style?
Siduri hirsch Vineyard 2010 light colored in the glass but lots of flavors from whole cluster fermentation.. the fruit goes quickly but there is a long finish of mocha and cedar... lovely wine
Novy Keefer Ranch Chardonnay 2010 soft and good texture.. no ml but a lot of stirring of the lees makes for creamy texture.. and acidity is right behind it..
Novy Blanc de Pinot Noir Oregon 2010.. white wine made with pinot noir grapes.. a light golden color .. and nose much more earthier than most chardonnay but that weight... kind of a pretty wine
Novy Syrah Christensen 2009 kind of one dimensional on the palate..some pepper but doesnt really promise like the nose suggested
Novy Rosellas Syrah 2009 i could smell this wine all day.. iodine and iron on the front.. lots of weight on the palate.. juicy.. didnt have the final bit that I would have liked on the end but still a very tasty wine
Novy Oley Late Harvest Viognier.. named after Adam's wifes grandmother this soft round dessert wine has good acidity that keeps it from being cloying. long finish.. would go well with wedding cake
