2008 Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir

The curse of success! While this may be the last vintage under the Litton Estate Vineyard name, believe me, I have no intention of stopping the crafting of this wine! With lower yields in 2008, the aromas of ripe raspberries, cassis, star jasmine blossom, morels and mineral fill your glass. Concentrated blackberry and pie cherry flavors glide through your mouth and finish with understated flavors of mushrooms, rose water, fennel, sassafras and mineral. There is great density and purity of both fruit and barrel tannins throughout. The personality of this site is very much spoken in this wine. Much like the 2007 version, patience will prevail in 7-10 years.
