4/18/2015 - windypinot Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is singing right now. Popped and poured through aerator. Dark ruby color; great body and full flavor. Very pleasant surprise. I think this could age for several more years still. |

2006 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma Countymore |
1/28/2015 - windypinot Likes this wine: 88 pointsThe wine is ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is little sediment in the bottle. Lighter cherry flavors with a narrow texture and a shorter finish. Drink up. |

1999 Newton Le Grand VinNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/1/2014 - windypinot wrote: 89 pointsDark claret color; Nose exhibits strong dark fruits and is promising, but the wine itself is thinner and does not match up with the same depth. Very short finish for what I would expect for this producer. Still had good enough body, but does not stand out. |

8/21/2012 - windypinot wrote: 89 pointsNot as impressive 2 years after I last tasted this; doesn't seem to be fading, just a bit muddled; perhaps shutting down now; popped and poured, so perhaps it needed more time to open up |
