Williams Selyem 2005 Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir (Yorkville Highlands)

Country: US / Weir Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Williams Selyem / Yorkville Highlands

Weir has never been my favorite Williams Selyem Pinot, although it has its fans. The ‘05, as with previous vintages, is dry and tannic, showing a toughness that’s almost rustic. The flavors are of cherries, cassis, cola, balsamic-splashed sautéed wild mushrooms and dusty spices. Could do interesting things over the years.
