2000 Williams Selyem Allen Vineyard Pinot Noir Italian and freshly picked fruit"Saturated deep ruby red. Knockout nose combines black cherry, cola, coffee, mocha, game, tar and brown spices; like a grand cru from Morey Saint Denis. Wonderfully opulent and mouthfilling; a wine of compelling sweetness and concentration, not to mention inner mouth spicy perfume. This is almost massive for Allen, but sound acids give the wine shape and grip. Finishes with lush tannins and terrific length. One of the most exciting wines I've tasted
