Williams Selyem 2024 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley

Rare new release from cult pinot producer Williams Selyem 93 Points Robert Parker: "Medium ruby-purple, the Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has lush aromas of wild berry preserves, aniseed, forest floor, potpourri and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is deeply fruited, wonderfully spiced and seamlessly structured, with a very long, layered finish." The Pinot Noir for this blend was sourced from the following vineyards: Drake Estate, Hallberg, Laguna, Lewis MacGregor Estate, Martaella, Orsi, Saitone, Rochioli Riverblock, and Williams Selyem Estate.  WINEMAKER COMMENTS: "The 2024 is another classic Russian River Valley offering in the making. Sourced from the full diversity of the AVA, the Russian River Valley is a panoramic view of the region. Highlighted with red cherry fruit and dried cranberry notes, the nose is further complexed with floral notes of rose and lavender. Cedar, citrus, and wood spices combine with fresh herbs, adding a different dimension. Beautiful red fruit f lavors peak in the mid-palate and transition to a black tea-like sensation. Dried citrus flavors interlaced throughout the palate offer freshness."
