then shows ripe strawberries in a surprising break from that fruit-backwardness

but again the few hours of air really helped this wine blossom and realize more of its potential

Williams Selyem, Russian River Valley, Calegari Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2012 Cabernet Franc and crushed flowersThe second vintage from the Calegari Vineyard offers an array of red cherry, cranberry and red raspberry aromas, while red rose, sassafras and cinnamon burst from the glass. The juicy acidity is coupled with a silky, tea like finish that lingers on the palate. A component of the Eastside Road Neighbors since 2008, this second vintage of the Calegari Vineyard Pinot Noir is a classic example of Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley. 95 Wine Enthusiast
