Siduri 2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir – Wine Advocate 92

Experience the acclaimed elegance of Siduri’s 2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, a remarkable expression of California’s cool-climate vineyards. Sourced from three distinct sites within the Sonoma Coast AVA, this beautifully balanced red wine captivates with its layered complexity and vibrant character.

Uncork to discover an enticing aromatic profile bursting with fragrant red and dark berries, artfully intertwined with inviting baking spices and a subtle hint of smoked meat—a signature nuance of this premium vintage. On the palate, experience a lean, fresh mouthfeel where earthy undertones mingle with lively acidity and bright tart fruit flavors. Expertly integrated, subtle tannins provide structure without overpowering, leading to a remarkably smooth, balanced finish that lingers deliciously.

Critically lauded with 92 Points from Wine Advocate, this medium-bodied gem displays a captivating medium ruby-purple hue. Reviewers highlighted its intense nose of chocolate box, lilac, crushed black cherries, cloves, cinnamon stick, anise, and garrigue (herbal complexity), supported by fantastic tension and a long, fragrant conclusion. Enjoy its peak drinking window from 2018 through 2026.

Perfectly balanced at 13.1% alcohol, this sophisticated Pinot Noir offers exceptional value for discerning enthusiasts seeking a refined yet approachable California red wine. Ideal for pairing with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses—or simply savoring its aromatic persistence on its own.
