Siduri Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley is bright, juicy, and full of personality—everything you want in a cool-climate Pinot. Known for their single-vineyard bottlings across the West Coast, Siduri has become a go-to name for Pinot lovers, and this Willamette release delivers serious value and charm without compromising complexity.

The fruit is sourced from top vineyard sites across the valley, including subregions like Yamhill-Carlton and Eola-Amity Hills. That diversity brings a layered, regional expression—floral lift, fresh acidity, and a fine balance between red fruit and savoury spice. Winemaking is kept minimal: small-lot fermentation, partial whole cluster, and aging in French oak to add polish but not overwhelm.

In the glass, it opens with cherry, cranberry, dried rose petal and hints of baking spice. The palate is vibrant and silky, with redcurrant, forest floor, and a touch of black tea. Tannins are soft but structured, and the finish is long, savoury and clean.

Perfect with grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, roast chicken or even just a good wedge of washed-rind cheese. It's an expressive, drink-now Pinot that also has the bones to age a few years.
