Siduri 2022 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir

Siduri Wines, founded in 1994, has built a strong reputation for Pinot Noir, focusing on sourcing fruit from top vineyard sites across California and Oregon. The winery’s philosophy centres on minimal intervention and allowing vineyard character to guide the style of each wine. The 2022 vintage reflects these cool-climate conditions, producing wines with bright acidity and aromatic clarity. Fermentation is carried out in small lots, often with partial whole-cluster inclusion depending on vineyard and vintage. The wine is aged in French oak barrels (a portion new), adding texture and subtle spice while maintaining the purity of the fruit.
