Rare new release from cult pinot producer Williams Selyem Tasting Notes: Red cherry, strawberry confiture, and faded rose petal aromas seem to sing in the top registers in this alluring offering. Hints of beet root, dried herbs and wood spices offer some bass notes to complete this wonderful orchestral suite. With air, the aromas intensify with notes of Morello cherry. The palate is very dense on entry with a strong streak of minerality through to the finish. The tannins are extremely fine grained and reminiscent of Ceylon tea. The 2015 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a classic, and highlights the elegance and power of a truly great growing region.

Very good tastes like Jam, not a bunch of spice but great fruit! IMO

Cherries and raspberries, oh my. A WS that drinks well without much age. Paired this one with roasted chicken. Nice way to end a weekend.

Jammy, juicy, hedonistic berry sacrifice for the gods! You can taste the hot climate, with minimal tannic grip, this wine is great for breads and creamy cheeses and actually can stand alone as the one you savor for the rest of the night

Big, tannic, young with loads of strawberry and cola notes. Supple tannins. Long cocoa finish. Hold for now. Drink in 3 years. Will last for 10.
