2020 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Eastside Road Neighbors

A knockout nose of berry fruits and sassafras jump from the glass in this terrific offering from the eastern hills above the Russian River. Notes of Asian spices, fennel, and a hint of earthiness are woven together with the fruit elements to create a multifaceted aromatic profile. 

On the palate, the wine is equally as complex, with berry fruits flavours and the zing of zesty tangerine peel. With robust tannins on the palate, the 2020 Eastside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir is buffered by rich fruit character and an earthy complexion that finishes with a weighty minerality.

About the Winery:

In 1979 founders Burt Williams and Ed Selyem began making wines as amateur part time on the weekends. However, by 1987 there was a 2-3 year wait just to get onto their mailing list to be able to purchase their award winning pinot noirs. Fast forward another 35 years and Williams Selyem wines are still leaders in California pinot noir. Their wines have been poured at the White House, have won countless awards and produced the first North American pinot noir to receive a perfect 100 score from a major wine publication.
