This should be your Thanksgiving Pinot Noir!!!
2023 Theodore Rex Sonoma County Pinot Noir....$31.99
The cool 2023 vintage provided the perfect conditions for outstanding Pinot Noir. The wine shows the complexity that accompanies a longer growing season, with concentrated red fruits and pitch-perfect acidity. A kiss of new French oak on the finish rounds out the wine - allowing it to be drunk by itself at the end of the day, or paired with a wide variety of medium bodied foods. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered A Special Wine for a Special Cause.
A collaboration between famed winemaker (and friend of the store) Adam Lee, The Wine and Cheese Place, and Olive + Oak.
Available exclusively at The Wine & Cheese Place, Spirit Wine & Craft and O + O Hospitality restaurants. Selected by The Wine & Cheese Place and Olive + Oak. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.
Here it is getting bottled!!!
Adam Lee, winemaker
Robert Parker, one of the most influential voices in wine criticism, held a strong admiration for Adam Lee's work at Siduri Wines. Parker’s advocacy helped Siduri's wines, especially their Pinot Noir, gain significant recognition. One standout moment was early in Siduri’s history when Parker rated one of Lee’s Pinot Noirs as among the top ten produced in California—a powerful endorsement that set Siduri on a path to prominence. Parker consistently praised Siduri for its dedication to varietal purity and quality across different regions, with Lee's approach capturing the essence of terroir from Oregon down to Santa Barbara.
In addition to quality, Lee's progressive move to screw caps on all Siduri wines by 2011 earned him further respect from Parker. Lee was ahead of his time in combating cork taint—a decision that Parker, a long-time critic of cork issues, found refreshing and innovative. This shift, along with Lee’s precision in Pinot Noir, reinforced his reputation as one of California’s leading Pinot Noir specialists
