2005 Williams Selyem Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
This is the Williams Selyem 25th Anniversary vintage. From the winery's website: "The Pommard clone predominant in this blend is reminiscent of blackberries, plums, cloves, black truffle, cola and crème brûlée. The rich and broad tannins accentuate blackberry-plummy fruits and complement the creamy, silky, yet fat finish and concentrated berry/spicy flavors."
Bottom line - this is a really, really good Sonoma Pinot Noir. 3,308 cases made.
We had the wine with a light dinner of cheeses, fruit, marcona almonds, salami, and bread.
