2014 Siduri Rosella’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., 938 cases, $60, screwcap. Released February 1, 2016. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Riper and more darker red fruited than usual for Rosella’s in this vintage, but the quality of the fruit really shines from entry to finish. The fruit has a slightly cooked quality, but still seduces. The oak is deftly managed, the tannins are complimentary, the texture is smooth, and the fruity finish is noticeably generous. Score: 91.
