The 2018 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a very pretty, floral wine with terrific freshness. Crushed red berries, mint, flowers and citrus give the 2018 a terrific sense of energy and verve. Gracious, lifted and finely cut, the 2018 is positively stellar. I loved it.

More lightly colored, the 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley comes from a mix of sites in the Russian River and was 80% destemmed and brought up in 25% new French oak. Spiced strawberries, potpourri, candied orange, and lots of spice notes emerge from the glass of this elegant, medium-bodied, nicely textured and fruit-loaded effort. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years.

Very much keyed on the incisive, cherry-like fruit specific to good Pinot Noir, Siduri's Russian River bottling is a very well-balanced working that is at once fairly outgoing and possesses a sense of fruity depth and reserve that bodes well for further development. Despite being easy to taste now, it shows the kind of energy and tactile length to encourage optimistic keeping, and, while we admittedly would not refuse a glass or two with a juicy pork chop tonight, we see good reasons aplenty to lay it away and exercise a few years of patience.
