Short stuff

[Florida Jim]

2000 Siduri, Pinot Noir Abre Vert:

A fine, fresh Oregon pinot with a crisp palate, nice ripeness (not alcoholic), some depth and complexity, and juiciness I don’t often find in domestic pinot. Nice wine and my favorite designation from this producer.

2002 Coudert, Fleurie Clos de la Roilette:

Too young but too good to put down. Thankfully, purchased in industrial quantities.

2000 Hudelot-Noellat, Bourgogne:

Nice, balanced Burgundy that is for drinking today.

2002 Anselmi, Capitel Foscarino:

Authentically structured Soave with good depth and focus. Will last awhile but difficult to keep hands off.

1995 Arroyo, Petite Sirah:

Still too young but beginning to show some development and promise, Better than I could have hoped, still, I’d give it five more years, minimum.

Best, Jim
