Siduri 2003 Hawks View Vineyard Oregon

[winoweenie]

A baby by any standards but definately a 15-pounder. Medium-deep ruby. Nose with some red and black fruits and earth. Spices showed up after an hour in the glass. All come across on the palate with blue-berries dominating the black fruits and sour cherries the red. A solid note of butter-scotch toffee is also evident. Soft entry. A weighty center and a neat 4+ lapper finish. Has some silky tannins that need resolving. Will improve for the next 4-6. A killer bottle of juice. 90/92 32 by the box. 14.7% alc. WW
