With over a dozen Pinot Noirs, one would think that winemaker Bob Cabral would be perennially stressed out having to deal with so many different vineyards. However, except for the blend of Russian River and Westside Road Neighbors, they are all legitimate vineyards, and I can fully comprehend why they would want to keep them separate. As I have said before, there is a clear house style, with wines tending to have a slightly higher acid profile, lower pHs. But there is no doubting that these are...

2007 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Bucher Vineyard 750ML
Bright red. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by cola and rooty sassafras. Powerful, deeply concentrated berry and cherry compote flavors coat the palate, with dusty tannins providing firmness. A sexy note of candied flowers gains volume with air and carries through the strikingly long, sappy finish. This benefited a lot from air and should be given a few more years of rest. These vines were planted in 1970, according to Cabral.

Williams Selyem 2006 Bucher Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 750 ml

|

2005 Williams Selyem, Bucher Vineyard, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA The nose is fragranced with ripe plums, wild blackberry jam, violets, forest floor, crème brûlée and honey-cured bacon. Your mouth fills with blackberries, blueberries, sassafras, nutmeg and toasty oak. The ripe, concentrated tannins are rich and round across your palate and the balanced acidity and berry finish is long and lingering. A fuller bodied wine that should get better with 5-6 years of age.

"Medium-deep red. Restrained but lively aromas of raspberry, maraschino cherry, mocha and earth, with a sappy spicy quality adding appeal. Quite suave and silky on entry, then dry and tight in the middle palate, even a bit severe today. A rather angular wine whose strong acidity calls for bottle aging. Finishes with fine tannins and notes of minerals and earth. Almost rustic for a Williams-Selyem pinot, but I find these aromas and flavors to be quite intriguing."

Good deep red-ruby. Captivating aromas of cherry, rose petal, cardamom and forest floor. Precise, spicy and fruit-driven, with a generous, fine-grained texture. Shows a strong wild berry character, along with a cola element. This has a lovely sugar/acid balance. With aeration, this wine showed the strongest minerality of any of these 2004s to this point. Finishes with dusty tannins. 91 points
