Tasting notes
Metallic, rusty note on the nose. Plentiful red fruit on the palate. Vibrant. Chewy structure, good length where the fruit is powerful and satisfying. (RH)

13.4 miles from the coast. Blast from the past… Mid crimson. Edgy vegy nose. Not too sweet with some real depth and complexity. Needs a little bit of time but this is a savoury food wine worthy of note. (JR)
The 2013 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) captures the essence of the appellation in its plump, exuberant fruit and supple personality. Bright saline notes underpin a finish that sparkles with brilliance. This is another impeccably balanced, harmonious Pinot from Williams-Selyem.
