2015 Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 2,121 cases, $35, screwcap. Sourced from Rosella’s, Garys’, Pisoni, Sierra Mar, Soberanes, Lemoravo and Escolle vineyards. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. A fruit-driven, mid weight plus offering with a soul of boysenberry and blackberry fruits underlain with some spice, earth and toasty oak. Good integration of tannins, sleek in texture, with a little persistence on the finish that reveals the slightest bit of alcoholic warmth. Score: 89. Reviewed June 4, 2017
