Sunday, December 31, 2023 - No notes taken. This youthful gem is a revelation, dazzling with its layered complexity. It’s an artful blend of earthy minerality and pure, candy-like fruit, creating a delightful contrast. The precision here is exceptional, each element in harmonious balance. The acidity is the star, keeping everything light and fresh. This bottle confirms it for me: Williams Selyem stands at the pinnacle of Californian Pinot. It’s a superb expression of the varietal. Too bad, it’s hardly available in Europe.
Decanting: Not decanted, followed over three hours. No extensive decanting necessary.

It is a blend of three great Russian River Pinot Noir vineyards: Williams Selyem Estate, Allen Vineyard, and Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard. In addition, Williams Selyem bottles these three wines individually as vineyard designated Pinot Noirs. If you like Westside Road Neighbors, you will most likely enjoy the vineyard designated bottlings as well.
