Siduri

Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir 2001

Doug Powers
9.2

This lovely Siduri Pinot Noir is very dark-colored, big, rich, old vine mountain fruit (my recollection is that this is an old “head-pruned” Pinot vineyard, at elevation??), I can see criticism that it’s not really “Pinot Noir-like”, but like the older St. Innocent “Freedom Hill” Pinot Noirs, these wines last a long time, so even if it’s too “big”, it’s rich, intense and complex!! But, you wouldn’t ever guess, “blind”, that this was a red Burgundy. I happen to like it, as it seems youthful and fresh, with further aging potential. — 4 days ago

Very unusual for a PN from 24 years ago to clock in at 14.6%. But glad it’s enjoyable!

@Erik Longabardi with the way the wine market is now the “Shhhhh” meme is dead and buried.

@Lyle Fass Agree! The way the world is now got us thinking that we’re taking a year off from making any more wines and ciders until it makes sense again

Allewinden savagnin 2020

Lyle Fass
9.3

German Savagnjn. Let’s go! Nose has that wooly Savagnin thing but with crystalline clarity. Unreal wafting minerals. Some nougat and hints of caramel. So much aroma. Palate is dense and rich but also ephemeral and pointed. Structured to a T and this has a delicate tannic structure. Awesome purity, freshness and incredible depth and drinkability. As this airs the acidity comes into focus and it has wonderful grip and focus. — 2 years ago

Weisser Satz Diebskinzig White Blend 2017

Such a great wine. Perfumed nose, spice, hay, skoche of dried honey, some potting soil, cardamom, white pepper, all so pretty and harmonious. Palate is super harmonious and very pure. Sappy and salty finish. Palate is all mineral and spice and maybe a hint of spiced apple on the finish. Lovely wine. Very juicy and spicey! — 3 years ago
