  Strawberry, caramel, and sweet oak spice. Palate shows dense core fruit with good structure and power. Best to consume after an hour of aeration.

  Strawberry, red cherry and caramel on the nose. Palate is expressive and Burgundian with precise sweetness. The wine is structured. Drinking wonderfully. This is aged William Selyem at its best. 92-93

  1993 WILLIAMS SELYEM OLIVET LANE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR- this vineyard was first planted in 1973-74; the color was a light to medium red and the nose offered very pleasant spicy red and black cherry fruit; again, the WS wines are hallmarked by wonderful mouthfeel and this one followed suit; a very mellow and graceful wine with enough goodness to please.

  Was looking forward to this but was disappointed. Very subdued at first, with some time we got vegetal sweet fruit, lots of spice, still subdued though. Big and burly on the palate - a little hot, with dark cherry and heat finish. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 3.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 0.5-1/2 = 12.5-13/20.

  Wow. Home run. Drinking perfectly right now. This wine represents what made Williams Selyem great when Burt was making the wines. Pure cherry, California fruit. Not showing any tannins but the acidity is still strong which holds the wine together. Drink now!
