Rare new release from cult pinot producer Williams Selyem Tasting Notes: "The Williams Selyem 2016 Sonoma County Pinot Noir has vivid red color immediately allures and entices the senses. Notes of plums and berries intermix with nutmeg and allspice. A touch of clove and tangerine peel adds an intriguing element reminiscent of mulling spices. In the mouth, the wine has a seamless texture with rather polished tannins throughout the length of the palate. The well-integrated acidity seems to drive the palate with flavors of plum and an earthy Mocha Java coffee blend. Rather elegant in style, the 2015 Central Coast offering would be a great choice as an aperitif or with light appetizers."

Drinking well but had many years to go, great tart fruit, herbs and smooth palate… I like it have 10 more left, will wait 6 more months before we open it again!!!

Cherries, forest floor, black licorice, good structure, soft on the palette… drinking very well but still could have a few more years, have some mags that should last 8-10 years IMO!

3 hour decant. Pretty red fruit with some herbal (stems?) freshness. A typically lighter styled wine for WS. This vintage is 100% Russian River though and it shows, delicious. Red fruit and licorice spice. Not serious but serious enough.
