2012 Williams Selyem "Rochioli Riverblock" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Malbec to round out

and Malbec to round out the blend

focus and persistence

I find this wine much easier to taste today than the more backward 2012

the structure tightens

but in the mouth this is refined and lifted

2012 Williams Selyem "Rochioli Riverblock" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Malbec to round outThere are four Pinot offerings from the Russian River, including the 2012 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard. This wine offers blueberry, boysenberry and wet rock like characteristics, medium body, nicely integrated acidity, pure blue and red fruits, and an attractive mouthfeel as well as finish. Moderately endowed and medium bodied, it should drink well for a decade. (RP)
