2013 Siduri "John Sebastiano Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Broad and ample on the palate, the 2013 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano Vineyard impresses for its pure power. The 40% whole clusters are nearly buried under masses of fruit in this super-expressive Pinot. Dark blue/purplish fruit, smoke, new leather and cloves all burst from the glass in an intriguing Pinot with tons of potential. Only 18 of a potential 70 barrels made the cut. (AG)
