Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2022-2026, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2023

Full bottle just 1,225g. Labelled 'Cellared & bottled by Williams Selyem' – meaning bought-in fruit? Transparent crimson. Pale rim. Meaty, sweet and jewelly. Definitely sweeter than the DuMOL 2020 Pinot. But no obvious smoke taint! And it should please those who seek a lively example that is obviously from the Russian River Valley rather than Burgundy. From one of the first iconic producers of the AVA, and one that played a part in inspiring the winemaker at Danbury Ridge in England . (JR)

The 2020 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is packed with confected violet, macerated strawberry, and root beer spice. The palate is fleshy and ripe, with red cherry, turned soil, and cedar. Drink it over the next 8 years.
