2022 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Bright red berry fruit, cherry cola, slight baking spice note with a touch of oak. Great acidity with not much tannin. I think this needs 4-5 more years to hit its sweet spot but still a fun bottle today. Admittedly, I thought I was opening the 2021 vintage

Ethereal and lifted on the nose, dried flowers and red fruit. Relatively soft, but light and bright, on the palate. A new direction for Talley? I hear yes. Excellent and exciting.

Garnet. Raisinoid. Drinks like a baby Barolo. High acid, grippy tannins on the taste. Long finish. Starting to approach these. Full bodied, long finish. Never decant.

    12/30/23, 4:12 PM - Yes, agreed for sure. Wish we had another one of these for tonight :)

Fishy tannins short finish. Soaring acid. Bottle format out of class for wine. Low tannins. Drink now.

Fruity Fuh orward. Almost gamay in a glass. Carbonic?

Golden. Beefy legs. Color to rim. Initially phenolic. Unctous. With scampi and garlic bread. A massive full bodied wine. Molto buono.
