Tasting Notes

CG92

Among the more voluptuous and outgoing of the many new Williams Selyem Pinots, the Ferrington finds a varietal sweet spot that is both juicy and bright. Although it is moderately full-bodied with a good bit of fruity flesh on its bones, its richer traits are balanced by beautifully fit, very active acidity that is always in play but never forcefully sticks out in a way that dissuades drinking while the wine is still in its infancy. There are, however, reasons enough to let it grow into at least adolescence and over time, it looks sure to find a little more range and the gravitas at which it now only hints.

WE92

Notable oaky aromas like cedar and clove join bold fruit and spice flavors in this medium-bodied, stylized wine from a classic producer. This bottling seems less overtly ripe and more spicy in style than recent vintages. On the palate, it oozes clove, tamarind, cardamom and black-cherry flavors. Best after 2019.
