"John and Diane Bucher founded their eponymous Russian River Valley winery in 2011, simultaneously taking on Adam Lee as their founding winemaker. Adam is best known for producing high-quality Pinot Noir and for his winery Siduri, which he founded in 1994 and later sold to Jackson Family Wines in 2015. Additionally, Mr. Lee retained his own wine label, Clarice, based in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The Bucher wines show off a plush ripeness of style, with good purity and classic appeal." -Jeb Dunnuck
