TN: 2002 Siduri Pinot Noir Van der Kamp Vineyard (USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Mountain)

  • 2002 Siduri Pinot Noir Van der Kamp Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Mountain (11/21/2009)
    Traci and I had this on Saturday night with a simple roasted chicken and roasted veggies (cauliflower, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes).

Popped and poured and drank over 2 hours. Color is pretty dark and the nose shows lots of earth, anise/black licorice, and dark fruit. The flavors on the palate are more of what’s in the nose. Dark, earthy fruit, anise/black licorice, and a little spice. The wine seems a little low acid and a little bit sweet across the middle of the palate with a little bitterness to me. The wine while good didn’t really appeal to me because of the “bitterness”. I have one more bottle and will consume that one soon.

Nice note, Tony. Always enjoy this vineyard, especially with a little age on it. Preferred 2001 to 2002, though.
