Proprietors Adam and Dianna Lee can be counted on for delicious, immediate wines that deliver immense pleasure. As is often the case, I am a big fan of the appellation wines in the Siduri lineup because of their sheer appeal and value.

Production of Siduri and Novy Family wines "has grown way, way faster and bigger than we ever imagined," Adam Lee told me as we walked through his sprawling facility in Santa Rosa.Over two dozen Siduri wines are made now from vineyards in California and Oregon and production now crests over 10,000 cases in a typical vintage.Comparing 2010 to 2011 Lee said that "overall 2010 was actually cooler than '11 but the heat spikes at the end of August and in September made the fruit completely different.In '11 it was just constantly cool, without any bursts of heat."A brutal selection process meant that the Lees sold off wine in bulk and "lots of expensive fruit went into the appellation bottlings."He summed up the 2011 harvest as falling into "three broad categories: picked before the rain, picked after the rain, and picked before the rain but only because rain was in the forecast."And he noted that pinot noir harvesting fell into all three categories, "so it's impossible to generalize about the vintage for pinot."

Adam Lee describes 2011 as the coldest vintage he has ever seen. Nevertheless, the 2011 Pinots are very, very pretty, and also in line with previous years in terms of their overall quality. Severe selection was the only way to do that, and it is quite clear that is exactly what Lee did. A higher percentage of barrels ended up in the appellation wines, a testament to the exacting standards at Siduri. I tasted all of the 2011s as final blends, from barrel. Lee planned to bottle the 2011s in August, 2012, with the exception of the Soberanes, Rosella's and Garys', all of which are a scheduled to go into bottle in January, 2013. The 2010 Pinots spent 10 months in barrel and were bottled in August, 2011. Lee told me his parcels experienced heat spikes in both August and September, but judging by the wines, he made the right calls before and after. Timing, as they say, is everything.
