Perfumed and floral, the 2020 Williams Selyem Estate Pinot Noir is a study in balance. Fruit, floral, and earthy tones are complexed with wood spices and minerality. Similarly on the palate, the wine showcases terrific acidity and is balanced with fruit, earthiness, and refined tannins. A sensation of citrus peel gives way to crushed rocks and minerals, keeping the balance in perfect harmony on the finish.

John Dyson began planning this 30-acre vineyard after purchasing land on Westside Road in 2002, where the Williams Selyem Winery is now based. Those vines produced a layered and complex 2020 with a natural (rather than a natty) feel. Tart blackcap raspberry flavors and spruce-bough scents accent the plush texture, a wine of charm and harmony, sexy and sure of its intentions. —J.G.
