Rare new release from cult pinot producer Williams Selyem Tasting Notes: A firecracker of a wine, the 2015 Westside Road Neighbors is explosive both in the nose and on the palate. Black raspberry and black cherry aromas are complemented with hints of cedar, allspice, vanilla, and black tea. An intriguing note of celery seed further complexes the outstanding nose. Young and brash, the texture is superb with a backbone of refreshing acidity and loamy earthiness that conveys flavors of bright Bing cherry and raspberry. The wine concludes with refined tea-like tannins and a crushed rock and minerally finish. A wine not to be missed!

Intense fruit with a touch of restraint. A little over concentrated for my taste, but still very well done. Thirty-Fifth Anniversary bottle.

Harmonious balance of acid, fruit, alcohol, and tannins. I'm so impressed with the brightness yet lingering finish. Might be one of the top wines I've ever had? I don't want this moment to end.
