Origins and History
Siduri Wines was founded in 1994 by Adam Lee and Dianna Novy Lee, Texas natives who relocated to California to pursue their passion for Pinot Noir. The winery takes its name from Siduri, the Babylonian goddess of wine. Their debut vintage consisted of just 107 cases sourced from Rose Vineyard in Anderson Valley, and it immediately attracted critical attention with a 90-point score from Robert Parker. In 2015, the winery was sold to Jackson Family Wines and is currently led by winemaker Matt Revelette.

Sourcing and AVAs
Siduri sources fruit from seven major AVAs stretching from Santa Barbara County in Southern California up to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. This broad geographic reach allows the winery to capture a wide range of cool-climate expressions. Rather than purchasing fruit by the ton, Siduri buys by the acre, giving growers an incentive to manage yields and canopy for quality rather than volume. The tasting room is located in downtown Healdsburg in Sonoma County.
