Siduri Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County is a beautiful Pinot from Siduri Wines. For nearly 20 years, Adam and Dianna Lee, owners and winemakers of Siduri Wines, have been sourcing fruit from some of the most influential and well-known Pinot Noir vineyards in the country. Today, Siduri produces single vineyard Pinot Noir from 27 different vineyards stretching from Santa Barbara north to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. They have been fortunate enough to establish relationships with top tier growers/vineyards including: Pisoni, Van der Kamp, Clos Pepe and Page- Nord.  All of Siduri's Pinot Noir is produced unfiltered and unfined in an effort to maximize the expression of these very diverse sites. Siduri is unique in the breadth and depth of their single varietal focus. Both native Texans, Adam and Dianna Lee fell in love with Pinot Noir in 1994 and have continued to evolve as winemakers, creating wines which reflect their growth and passion. "Siduri" is named for the Babylonian Goddess of wine, who, in Babylonian mythology, held the wine of eternal life. “To taste Siduri is to taste some of the best Pinot Noir made in America today.” - Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator columnist & author of New California Wine. 

Beginning with the 2020 vintage, Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir features the debut of the Perilune Vineyard – a picturesque hillside vineyard on the North side of Highway 246 in the Santa Rita Hills. This young vineyard is supplemented by the Hapgood, Machado and John Sebastiano Vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills, as well as Julia’s Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley providing an additional layer of aromatic finesse and vibrancy. The dark fruit notes of Santa Rita Hills and the red-fruited spice of the Santa Maria Valley produce a Pinot Noir that is uniquely Santa Barbara County. 

“Matured for 10 months in 25% new French oak, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County has a medium garnet color and broody scents of blackberries, mushrooms, mossy bark and brewed black tea. The medium-bodied palate has a concentrated core of earthy fruit, silky tannins, bright acidity and a long finish laced with floral perfume. 11,000 cases produced. Drink 2024-2030.” — Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, 92 points! (on the 2021 vintage)
