This wine screams “cherries!” ....red and black cherry with notes of cola and hints of allspice. Opens beautifully and still has tannic backbone. Structure and good mouth feel. A beautiful Pinot. — 6 years ago

Minty. Black currant. Super smooth. Very far from a standard Shiraz glop bomb. Surprisingly fresh and lively at 13 years old. — 8 years ago
Dry smooth, great with steak — 9 years ago
Delicious. Opens up with some airtime to become more fragrant. It has some cherry, raspberry and touch of bright strawberry. It’s a lighter bodied wine with some good acid and no real tannins. — 6 months ago
I get why people who generally always review this producer as just good consuming it young. This is ten years from birth, eight years in bottle and it is still not at its peak. it has ten years and perhaps more properly stored. Very good tonight but better things ahead. It takes this long and longer for WS Pinots to shine.
The palate is, juicy, ripe, rich, a bit lush; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, purple fruits, hues of blueberries, plum and ripe to dry strawberries with a pomegranate overlay. Then, dry earthiness, top soil, crushed rocks & powdery limestone & chalkiness, dark spices, some black pepper, dry brush, eucalyptus, tree sap, sun tea, black and red cola/licorice, drier tobacco, barrel dust to shavings, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, vanilla, touch of dry herbs-bay leaves & sage, bright red, pink, blue, purple florals framed in dark slightly withering florals, rain shower acidity, the finish is; well structured & balanced in fruit, earth & flowers, some more tension than I like but will soften & fade nicely in 3-5 years. But, wire to wire really even and stunning. Evolution & integration is good but needs 3-5 years to be its best. Coravin glass.
IMHO, one of the outstanding CA Pinot producers. Walter Hansel gives them a run for the money at their fantastic price point. — 8 months ago

One of two of Sofia’s top two producers we will have tonight for her birthday. Happy Birthday! 🎂🥳🎉 🎈 Still Youthful.
It’s darker, rich, ripe, lush, elegant, mixed berry fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, black, juicy plums, poached strawberries, blueberries, slightly liqueured pomegranate. It’s like a berry creamsicle. It is one of the more crazy, good Williams Selyem. Sofia would agree 💯. Mixed berry cola/licorice, semi-sweet, rich, dark soils w/ leaves, limestone marl, delicate volcanics, bay leaves, eucalyptus bark, sandstone, dry brush, a touch of grilled meats, steep teas, hints of dry tobacco, sandalwood, amazing floral of bouquet of nearly every color except white, excellent, spring shower acidity and extremely well; knitted, balanced, structured, polished finish for days. — 6 months ago
