(96+ points) Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard has a compelling, totally singular nose of crushed red and black cherries, rhubarb, strawberry compote and black raspberries with touches of dark chocolate, anise, black soil and dried Provence herbs plus a hint of rose hips. Medium-bodied, it has a very fine-grained, firm texture and oodles of freshness, packed with red and black berry flavors and finishing multilayered. 528 cases produced.- LPB

(94+ points) The 2015 Pinot Noir Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard saw roughly one-quarter stems and spent 18 months in just 70% new French oak. Its bouquet of pomegranate, black cherries, crushed rock, and underbrush is followed by a tight, inward, fresh Pinot Noir that has good acidity, building structure, and solid length. It lacks a touch of balance at the moment, but it certainly has all the right components and is loaded with potential. Give bottles 2-3 years, and it should drink nicely for a decade or more.

From the site around the winery on Westside Road—which is planted to heirloom clones—this wine has a refrained, balanced approach to ripeness, showing focused black cherry, black tea and baked rhubarb tones. The moderate structure allows for a soft, layered texture that could use more time in bottle. Enjoy best from 2020–2025. VIRGINIE BOONE
