2016 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Vista Verde Vineyard
Buying options
Tasting notes
Beautifully plump aromas of black plum, violet, rose and baked fennel show on the nose of this bottling. Soft and full on the palate, it offers plenty of fruit surrounding the earthy core, with flavors of wild cherry, cherry pit, Alpine strawberry, loam and herb. — Matt Kettmann

The 2016 Pinot Nair Vista Verde Vineyard is plump, juicy and expressive, all of which make it easy to drink and enjoy young. Succulent red cherry and raspberry are pushed forward in this effortless, open-knit Pinot from Williams Selyem. The Vista Verde is not especially complex, but it is both delicious and a terrific example of the year.
