2016 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Buying options
Tasting notes
Tangy and delicate, this coastal wine is dominated by vibrant acidity and an Asian spice tone. Teases of orange peel, red cherry and gravelly forest floor flavors emerge on the well-balanced palate. — Virginie Boone

The 2016 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is laced with the essence of bright red fruit, blood orange, mint, chalk and white flowers. Tense and vibrant in the glass, with striking inner perfume, the 2016 is terrific. Beams of underlying salinity extend the bright finish in a tense, wiry Pinot that is full of personality.
