title: Siduri 2006 Hawk's View Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Kudos to Siduri for offering a serious Oregon Pinot Noir at alcohol levels (13%) reminiscent of Burgundy. It's a welcome tilt for the state that once was tagged as the new world's Burgundian hope, but which has sometimes seemed more like a California wannabe. Light and tart, this isn't a complex wine but brings the delicate nuances of the grape, with cranberry, citrus and strawberry.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Hawk's View Vineyard
