Williams Selyem with this kind of age never disappoints, nor does the 2012 Napa/Sonoma vintage.
Mid & darker fruits & mid berry cola burst out of glass. Limestone minerals, crushed rock, steeped tea and bright, fresh red florals.
It glides on the palate with ripe, juicy fruits that are; dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries, pomegranate, dry cranberries, blueberries & some boysenberries. Red cola/licorice, dark spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanillin, dark rich soil, dry twig, crushed limestone, dry top soil, saline, fresh, bright, dark, red forals with violets, excellent rainfall acidity with an elegant, balanced finish that falls on dry minerals and that lasts two-minutes.
Quality consistent yr in yr out. Their style is my Pinot wheelhouse. Now owned by Domaine Faiveley.

Pale ruby in color. Aromas of cherry, smoke, and spices. On the palate, it’s fruit-forward with well-balanced acidity and tannins. The higher ABV stands out for a Pinot Noir. Drinking well now despite its young vintage. — 2 months ago
Here we open things up a bit more vs the west Sonoma coast bottling. Same pale yellow but citrus is fresher, white florals more vibrant, some underlying tension below the mellow lemon curd profile — 9 months ago
Developing. Needs more time to fully integrate. — 2 months ago
Nice round buttery Chardonnay — 4 months ago
Fresh cherries and strawberries, orange peel, vanilla, and licorice. Also background notes of plum, pine, and earth . Right now, scoring this as it is drinking, but with age (it needs some mellowing, but certainly not decades) it could move up a few points. — 9 months ago

Still soaring. Definitely a few more years left in it. A short decant is all it needs today — 2 days ago
