Country: US / Terra de Promissio Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Williams Selyem / Sonoma Coast
This classy young Pinot is the second release from the winery’s only Petaluma Gap vineyard. It’s bone dry, mouthwateringly tart in acidity and delicate in structure, with complex cherry, cranberry, persimmon and cola flavors, nicely augmented by smoky oak. You can drink it now, after decanting for an hour or two, and it will soften a bit, or hold until 2020.
