Consistently one of my favorite bottlings from selyem. Mostly vista verde on calcerous rocky soils. Love it even in a tough vintage like this

Overdone, no nuance. Decent, but horrible QPR.

Totally selyem totally holister. Very chalky with dark plum fruit and fine grained tannins. Interesting profile that is not Russian river, not Sonoma, not Santa Lucia highlands but obviously it's own

Our monthly 4th Friday event at the storage facility. No requirements, just wine you want to share with others! Always an enjoyable time.

These older WS pinots epitomize for me Sonoma Pinot at its best. So much strawberry, rhubarb, cedar and black cherry. Not overpowering at all. Perfect texture.

On the nose, floral, bright, raspberries, dark cherries, dry cherries, blueberries notes, strawberries, cola, chalky minerals, fresh, perfumed red florals with violets.

The body is medium. Some light tannins present. The fruits are ripe and fresh. Bright, raspberries, dark cherries, dry cherries, blueberries notes, strawberries, cola, chalky minerals, crushed dry rocks, some loamy dry clay, fresh, bright perfumed red florals with violets.

This one needs another 5 plus years before opening. Drink 2022-2030. @Delta Sky Lounge

Red fruit, perfume, cedar, and spice. M+ acid and tannin. A bit of a short finish
