It’s darker, rich, ripe, lush, elegant, mixed berry fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, black, juicy plums, poached strawberries, blueberries, slightly liqueured pomegranate. It’s like a berry creamsicle. It is one of the more crazy, good Williams Selyem. My wife Sofia would agree 💯. Mixed berry cola/licorice, semi-sweet, rich, dark soils w/ leaves, limestone marl, delicate volcanics, bay leaves, eucalyptus bark, sandstone, dry brush, a touch of grilled meats, steep teas, hints of dry tobacco, sandalwood, amazing floral of bouquet of nearly every color except white, excellent, spring shower acidity and extremely well; knitted, balanced, structured, polished finish for days. Still quite youthful. Happy Birthday Sofia.

Very floral offering, with herbaceous notes on the nose — Thai basil and wildflower. Medium bodied with bright acidity, and plush berry notes. A solid Pinot with a slightly more “old-world” style than I’m used to from this producer, but not the best offering from WS... granted this was the first Pinot to release from the Calegari vineyard. Nonetheless and enjoyable drink.
