2010 Burt Williams’ Morning Dew Ranch Pinot Noir

Our first effort with fruit from Burt Williams’ ranch in the deep end of the Anderson Valley. This unique vineyard site, situated amongst redwoods, has produced a wine with intriguing aromas of raspberry, cherry, cardamom, delicate rosewater notes, bright Bing cherry, cranberry and earthy aromas – especially as it opens up. The palate has a true mineral note, with cranberry and cherry fruit interspersed with cardamom spice, vanilla bean and truffle. The silky mouthfeel emphasizes strawberry and rhubarb pie flavors, Black cherry skin, wild thyme, blueberry and dried flowers and is grounded with a nice level of acidity. A broad and silky wine that has exceptional presence; truly a wonderful addition to the lineup of unique Williams Selyem wines.
