Limited new release of Williams Selyems legendary Russian River Pinot.Primarily from the Drake Estate Vineyard (Pommard & Clone 115) planted in 1998, with a bit from vineyards along Westside Road. The nose is redolent of blackberries, plums, toffee, and crème brûlée. The rich and full tannins accentuate blackberry and dark plummy fruit flavors, and complement the creamy, silky finish. The concentrated dark fruits and spicy flavors truly express the classic depth, complexity, and finesse that you would expect from their Russian River Valley pinot noir.

Dark cherry bingo. If you haven’t had a 10-15 year in bottle WS, you have missed special. Merry Christmas!

Out standing wine with plenty of dark cherry notes and some subtle but ever present tannins witch took me to the Pacific Northwest at first - the 14% alcohol was well hidden

Nice aromatic nose. Medicinally sweet fruit that is well balanced with structure in the mouth.

Very nice, balanced, quality Pinot Noir. Strawberry, bramble, cedar and a hint of forest floor. Medium intensity on the nose, palate and medium finish. Very nice wine, but lacks some complexity or intensity.

This was really pretty, but I should have drank it earlier.
