February 5, 2023 - PnP. Medium dark red. Ripe nose of dark cherry and plum with a hint of mineral/iron. Medium weight on the palate with good fruit/acid balance and resolved tannins. Smooth finish. This is quite good at age 13 and the W-S winemaker signature has faded allowing the vineyard character of minerality to come through. Good but the Littorai version is more transparent to site.

December 23, 2020 - What a fabulous wine. It is showing remarkably young, with brilliant red and dark cherries, cranberry, damp earth, pine needles, and a character that conjures up the misty redwoods surrounding the vineyard. In addition, there are some lovely subtle secondary notes creeping in of toast, baked clay, and dried herbs. What a great balance and this wine is at the perfect spot! I have had three expressions of this vineyard and would rank them as such- #1 Williams Selyem, #2 (very close second) Littorai, #3 Hirsch Vineyards. I've heard great things about David Hirsch's higher end bottlings, but I've only had the San Andreas Fault; it's a nice wine, but doesn't hold a candle to Williams Selyem or Littorai.
