2012 Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir green apple and melon notesBob Cabral received more fruit than usual from David Hirschs far coast vineyard in 2012, so this wine is actually more than 20 percent Hirsch. The provenance of the fruit shows through as a delicious blast of energy, the wine lasting on a wild raspberry tang that pulls savory depth behind it, a sous bois undertone that speaks to the redwoods and sandstone ridges of the Sonoma Coast: direct, pristine and uncomplicated.
