Tasting notes
This 2023 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard is the last iteration of this cuvée from Williams Selyem. It comes from vines planted at 1,150 feet in elevation above the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by redwood forests, and the wine was matured for 16 months in 62% new French oak. It has slowly uncoiling aromas of pipe tobacco, nori, damp earth, conifer, blackberry and grapefruit peel. The palate is medium-bodied and youthfully gregarious, offering vibrant, detailed flavors. It’s framed by chalky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, layered finish. 275 cases were made.
