Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2002 Tasting Notes

It was difficult to make a bad Pinot Noir in California in 2002, a standout vintage year with supple, juicy, and harmonious wines abounding everywhere, in particular on the Sonoma Coast. Guess what you get from a winery like Williams-Selyem, one of California's elite standard bearers for handcrafted Pinot Noir? If you guessed a great Pinot that entices with a steamy perfume of red fruit and jasmine, then you deserve a glass.

Unfortunately, I can't help you get one and you are on your own. The fruit jumps from juicy cherries to raspberries to plums and is ribald with spice and opulence. Supple with ripe tannins and bright acidity, the wine has a layered structure and an endearing and lengthy finish to make you reminisce. It's all gone and I miss it.
