1987 WILLIAMS SELYEM SONOMA COUNTY PINOT NOIR- this blend contained some fruit from the little known Barnes Road Vineyard ??? which was never vineyard designated; the color was still free from any effects from age, the nose had really inviting spicy red fruit which continued on in to the taste profile along with some burnt toast, smoke and cola notes; as opposed to a quick hit and out, this just kept getting better and better in the glass; it had a lovely soft texture and enough stuff to stay on at the end; Burt said he was quite surprised at how well this entry level Pinot showed; it was one of my favs of the night as well as other`s.
