2013 Precious Mountain Pinot Noir

Tasting notes
A deep, powerful wine, the 2013 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard exudes structure. Dark cherry, plum and rose petal open up first, followed by a distinctive blood orange/citrus note that adds brightness. The Precious Mountain delivers tremendous flavor intensity and sinewy power, although it is quite clear the wine needs time. The only question is how much. This is a very strong showing from Williams Selyem.

One of the producer's more delicate offerings, this wine from a coastal site is crisp and crunchy in wet stone, black tea and light-bodied renderings of red cherry and pomegranate. Along the way it tells a tale of citrus tanginess and sculptured minerality, finishing with the slightest backbone of textured tannin. — Virginie Boone
