Siduri's 2012 Sta. Rita Hills Pinots from bottle came in mostly as expected based on the barrel tastings last year. Once again, I find considerable appeal in a straight appellation wine, in this case, the 2012 Sta. Rita Hills, which is absolutely delicious.

Although his winery is based in Santa Rosa, where he and his family live, Adam Lee and his assistant winemaker, Ryan Zepaltas, are probably making a larger number of different Central Coast pinot bottlings than any other producer, including the locals. Lee has made a conscious decision over the last few years "to try to get more elegance and less overt oak" influence in his wines, "and that's not just because of colder vintages, it's an overall style decision." In that regard he has much in common with many of his colleagues, especially in the North Coast, who moved away from making Xtreme wines, especially pinots, in the mid-2000s.

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.
