2019 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard
Buying options
Tasting notes
Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard offers deep, pure scents of raspberries, lavender, peppercorn, saline and autumn leaves. The medium-bodied palate is delicate yet concentrated, with a powdery, fresh frame, a rocky mineral streak and detailed floral flavors on the very long, spicy finish. This finessed expression comes from vines planted at about 1,200 feet in elevation in the Yorkville Highlands appellation of Mendocino County, where a lack of coastal influence results in extreme diurnal shifts.

This full-bodied wine is generous with its black cherry, black currant and black plum flavors. It is rather soft and mouthfilling in texture and shows powerful accents of toasted oak, cinnamon and clove. — Jim Gordon
