Proprietors Adam and Dianna Lee have done a terrific job with their 2011s. Not surprisingly, the 2012s are potentially even better. As always, I have a soft spot for the appellation Pinots in the Siduri range. The vineyard designates are usually terrific, but for the money and pure value it's hard to beat the entry-level Pinots. The 2011s are the result of a very strict selection process. The willingness to make those hard choices, especially hard in low yielding vintages, is what separates top wineries from the rest. As an example, in 2011 there are no John Sebastiano and Cargasacchi Pinots. All of that wine went into the straight Sta. Rita Hills Pinot, along with most of the juice from Clos Pepe. Adam Lee describes 2012 as a year with excellent and consistent ripening but late malos that will ultimately result in some of these wines being bottled a little bit later than normal.
