2013 Williams Selyem Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Bucher Vineyard

Once again, the Pinot Noir Bucher Vineyard is one of the most distinctive wines in the range. Game, iron and a host of feral/savory notes take center stage, while the fruit is pushed more into the background. There is good depth to the fruit, but also a certain rusticity that is impossible to fully escape. The Bucher is the most animal of Williams Selyem's 2013 Pinots. - Antonio Galloni
