2022 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Calegari
Buying options
Tasting notes
A big bouquet of roses, cinnamon and violets in this welcoming, generous and charming wine that has appealing complexity. So spicy, floral, concentrated and alive in red fruit and red tea, backed by good, appetizing acidity and moderate tannins. Full-bodied. Drink now or hold.

This is steeped in fruit, offering blackberry, mulberry and boysenberry pâte de fruit flavors that course along, riding black licorice, warm earth and dark tea notes through the lengthy, well-structured finish. Though not shy with the toast, this is packed with plenty of fruit to soak that up, with energy for the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2037. 692 cases made.
