Note di degustazione
The 2009 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard is one of the more complete wines from the estate's collection of Sonoma Coast Pinots. Aromatics, fruit, acidity and tannin are all beautifully integrated in this supple, expressive wine. Layers of dark red fruit build effortlessly to the long finish, where the wine's underlying minerality is most apparent.

Layers of dark red fruit build effortlessly to the long finish, where the wine’s underlying minerality is most apparent. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. I tasted a dizzying array of Pinot Noirs from Williams Selyem and winemaker Bob Cabral. Yields were down in 2009 because of bunch-stem necrosis, a condition that can occur because of weather/humidity extremes or mineral imbalances. Otherwise, it was a pretty regular vintage with an even set and a harvest that took place beginning in early September. Tel. (707) 433-6425
Deep ruby-red. Brooding, pungent nose suggests black raspberry, cherry-cola and Moroccan spices, along with notes of dried rose and black tea. The palate offers flavors of sappy dark berry compote and candied violet, with a building spiciness. Lots going on here! Finishes with solid grip and excellent persistence, the violet and spice notes emphatically repeating. This should be a slow ager.
