Williams Selyem Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2010
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.

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.

Still a lot of life ahead in this bottle. The edges are starting to round off nicely with lots of crunchy red fruit on the palate. A real mouthful of pleasurable flavors.

1st wine of blind KWN. Good balance between cherry tart and earth. Figured it was a little older than 2010. Wine #5 of the evening in a standout lineup.

2010 - Strawberry, rhubarb and cranberry fresh fruit character with interesting spice notes (white pepper) and loads of dried herb. Well structured tannin - decant if opening now.
