Williams Selyem, San Benito County, Vista Verde Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2012
Deep berry notes intertwined with plum and crushed raspberries jump from the glass, while flavors of vanilla and nutmeg help complete the aromatic profile. This wine has wonderful mouthfeel, which gives way to a refreshing acidity with hints of spice and mandarin orange on the mid-palate. A lifted note of fresh rose petals with underlying chalky minerality and mocha round out this complex wine

On the Nose- Bright red fruits, fresh strawberries, cherries, raspberries, plums, mandarin orange, rose petals, baking spices, earth, nutmeg, vanilla, mocha
On the palate- Bright red fruits and fresh strawberries, cherries and raspberries, plums and mandarin oranges, rose petals and baking spices, earth and nutmeg, vanilla and nutmeg with a hint of mocha. The finish is silky smooth and complex with nice acid holding everything together. This was out of Magnum and absolutely stunning and was decanted for 1 hour and enjoyed over the night to watch it change and improve. This was a stunning wine and so good. Age has done amazing things to this wine but I see another 10 plus years of life left with no problem out of Magnum. 4/17/2021

Dark red center, red rim with some signs of age.
Intense nose of blackcurrants, blueberries, a little creamy, smoke, rubbed herbs. Smooth, black cherries and blackberries, polished leather, alcohol in check, a little greenness, some cola, good acidity still, great long fruit driven finish. Excellent Pinot Noir, great fruit and balance, drinking well now with air, good for another 5 years. 9/4/2022
