PnP. Perfect cork and fill. Medium dark red - little clearing or browning, Lovely nose of spice and cherries; on the palate this has excellent depth, balancing red and black fruits with spice and mineral. Tannins are largely gone and integrated. This is really good and quite a surprise after the last bottle a few years ago. Perhaps 2007 Sonoma Coast Pinots just needed time. Last bottle. I would drink now though based on this bottle these good go another 5 years.

Smells of red fruit with light fall leaves, the taste is still juicy red raspberries/cherries but accented with cloves and spices, a bit of cinnamon. Medium density with balanced acidity and a silky texture. Good finish, tannin is fully integrated. Personally, I would not hold this wine much longer. Maybe a bit past peak for me but YMMV depending on your palate.

(Williams Selyem Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir) #3; COLOR-medium; NOSE-true California Pinot nose; very fruit driven; a spicy sour cherry; PALATE-very vibrant; a little herbaceousness on the back-end; some great minerality; a very focused Pinot; I like the fruit; VERY complex; has great body; nice weight on the mid-palate transition, but not heavy; this is SPECTACULAR Pinot; a relative value for $72 bones; W&S-95; GV-94

Bright garnet color.
Appealing nose of cherries, baking spices, rose petal and turned earth.
Persistant and balanced palate of red fruits (red cherry), spice, a touch of creme de cerise.
Drinking very well now, quite resolved but will hold. If any criticism perhaps a touch of heat on the end palate.

Drinking very nicely. Well integrated and smooth. Nice fruit on the nose and palate. Did not notice any spice.

Drinking beautifully. Silky mouthfeel, just enough fruit and a subtle complexity.
