2015 Siduri Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., 272 cases, $65, screwcap. Released September 2017. Small crop in this vintage led to a more typical bigger, full-bodied wine. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Brooding aromas of fertile earth, black cherry and ripe dark berries. A big boy wine with an exuberant load of fruit extract that captivates with its intensity and length. Mature tannins provide a good frame. A dreamy wine with a soothing texture that is built for aging. My only nit would be the sense of alcohol if you look for it. Score: 93.
