2005 Williams Selyem, Hirsch Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 90

Bright red. Vibrant strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with a sexy jolt of fresh rose and cinnamon. The energetic red berry and cherry flavors show impressive depth, with fine-grained tannins giving support. Finishes bright, quite broad and long. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/05/2007]

Again, I loved the 2005 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard with its beautiful earthy, forest floor, meaty notes and stunningly sweet black raspberry and cherry notes intermixed with some herbs and meat. This is a beauty that I would cellar for 3-4 years and drink over the following 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546 [12/26/2006]
