2008 Williams Selyem Bucher Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.7% alc., pH 3.50 $54.
Released fall 2010. This vineyard is located 1.5 miles north of Williams Selyem winery on Westside Road.
Planted primarily to Dijon clones 667 and 777. Aged 17 months in 70% new and 40% 1-year-old French oak
barrels.
·
Aromas of Bing cherries, tarry oak, spice and oil. A medium-weighted cherry-driven wine with an
herbal oak and smoky underpinning that I find unpleasant. Soft and delicate, with fine dry tannins and a
respectable grip of acidity on the finish. I suspect I got a bad bottle. Decent.

2007 Williams Selyem Bucher Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.9% alc., $54.

Marvelous
spiced Bing cherry aromas predict greatness but the wine deliver flavors with a disappointing message. The
cherry core is dominated by an earthy, savory, woody imprint that just wasn’t to my liking. Decent.
