Textbook Russian River Pinot with stunning depth and finesse.

Bing cherry explodes from glass. Black tea aromatics meld with forest floor complexity. Sarsaparilla adds exotic spice layer. Mid-palate shows remarkable density without weight. Earth undertones anchor bright fruit. Silky tannins frame everything perfectly. Finish lingers with tea leaf persistence. This 2015 hits peak drinking window now but has years ahead. Williams Selyem craftsmanship evident throughout.
