Tasting notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard is packed with dark red-toned fruit, cedar, milk chocolate, sweet pipe tobacco and vanillin. Here, too, the oak is dialed up, but the wine has the depth and structure to handle it. The 2023 fleshes out nicely with a few hours of air.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard was matured for 16 months in 69% new French oak. It has slowly unfurling scents of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry complemented by wafts of nori, tea leaves and violet. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, perfumed flavors. It has a frame of velvety tannins and juicy acidity and a very long, fragrant finish. It will benefit from a few years in the cellar. 580 cases were made.
