Two Pinot Noir lovers, Adam and Dianna Lee, founded Siduri Wines in 1994, producing only four and a half barrels of Pinot Noir that first vintage. Now they make over 10,000 cases of Pinot Noir. Dark Ruby with dark rich fruit aromas and sweet smoky spice, aged 17% in new French oak. On the palate blackberry and ripe cherry flavors with sweet cacao and baking spice. Focused soft tannins, balanced acidity on long finish, very nice! — 6 years ago
Beautiful gold color with classic petrol aromas of Riesling. In the mouth the fruit is rich and intense with great structure. Just the right amount of residual sugar to go with food such as chicken and Asian foods. Wonderful wine. — 7 years ago

A big wine with full fruit aromas adding the right touch of cedar spice. Palate has black and red berry flavors, adding cacao and sweet cinnamon, soft with a citrus kick. Fine tannins, lingering finish ending with earthy mineral character. Very nice! — 8 years ago

Opening this was our version of a “brilliant mistake”. Have a few of these in my cellar and @ADAM STROMFELD said pull it, it’s probably gone! So much for that. Absolutely no signs of oxidation. A baby at 15 years. This not only has another 15, it most likely has another 30 years ahead. Fresh honeycomb, dried apricot simmered in Sauternes, earthy minerals, hints of Burgundian washed rind cheese, dried golden berries, fresh baguette, dried pineapple, marzipan. Really nice acidity and lingering finish. So complex and just getting started. Love what really good chenin can do. Was even better on day 2 (pushing 9.6 for me) Looking forward to opening another bottle at my retirement party! — 8 years ago

The 1980 vintage in Sauternes was challenging to say the least but Chateau D’Yquem has crafted one of the shining stars of the vintage. Aromatically quite expressive, the Sauternes takes the lead with candied ginger, lychee, apricot and shades of bananas foster that all sing in unison. The palate comes off with an unusual combination of sweet and sour tones, with a strong vein of salinity that races through the core of quince, sour apricot, vanilla creme brûlée and roasted pineapple flavors. Texturally elegant, this is far less on the unctuous side of D’Yquem, but has a beautiful feeling of refinement, freshness and elegance. Still humming at the forty year mark, the 1980 D’Yquem will provide drinking enjoyment for at least another five to ten years. Drink 2020-2027- 94 — 6 years ago
