Williams Selyem 2006 Bucher Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Bucher Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Williams Selyem / Russian River Valley

Fairly tannic, this lovely Pinot Noir has a dusty, dry astringency that tamps down the palate’s enjoyment of the fruit, and suggests aging. Yet the vast flavors range from cherries, pomegranates and persimmons to the cola and Asian spices that always characterize WS Pinots. Best after 2010 and for six years or so.
