Score 92/100 · Drink 2005-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 2005

One of the smaller Williams-Selyem cuvees is the 266-case 2002 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain. One of the strongest efforts in this portfolio, it reveals some tightness/restraint on the aromatics, but with airing, considerable nuances develop. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by elegant raspberry, rose petal, strawberry, and scorched earth scents, and medium bodied flavors with tremendous elegance, purity, and depth. Drink it over the next decade. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

Saturated medium ruby. Strong wild berry aromas complicated by mocha and white chocolate. Juicy, superconcentrated and powerful, in a tightly wound, rather musclebound style. Finishes with substantial tannic clout. This will need time in bottle and may ultimately merit an even higher score.
