Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange rind, tea, herbs, cacao and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, cacao, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age a long time, actually very young now!

Big and sweet. Absolutely 0 green stalk flavour. Sacrifices structure in favour of a really lush and powerful red fruited flavour profile. Like liquified cherry pie. Larger than life, almost like a syrah in style. Bold, pugnacious and unique. Beautiful.

One of the best William Selyem Pinot's I've had recently. Bright bing, dark & sour cherries, raspberries, dark fruit liqueur. So clean and smooth, elegant but still a touch hot.

The best of the Russian River! Round, juicy red fruit attack. Mid palate drifts into blueberry, thyme, allspice. Lingering vanilla seed.

Very consistent with the house style. Red and green fruits, sea spray, and toasty oak finish.
