Tasting notes
The 2022 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors, matured for 15 months in 60% new oak, opens slowly on the nose, segueing from pomegranate and cranberry to nuances of rooibos tea, aniseed, forest floor and iron. The medium-bodied palate is supple and juicy with a deep core of spicy fruit and a long, iron-laced finish. 1,488 cases produced.

A slightly more ruby red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors comes from an east-facing slope that’s usually about two weeks behind both flowering and for harvest. The wine shows a more mineral-inflected profile on the nose, with notes of crushed stones, red cherries, red berries, and fresh rosemary. It offers more tension and brightness, with a more vertical feel, coiled tannins, refreshing, mouthwatering mineral undertones, and a lift of orange. It’s long and will benefit from another year or more in bottle to show its best. These are the spring releases from Williams-Selyem and were tasted with Vice President and Director of Winemaking Jeff Mangahas at the estate in the Russian River Valley.
