Tasting notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors is blended from several vineyards, including Bacigalupi, Rochioli Riverblock and the Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard. Matured for 15 months in 60% new French oak, the nose features scents of briar fruit, Earl Grey tea, forest floor, woodsmoke and dark spice. The full-bodied palate is bursting with concentrated, floral flavors. It’s framed by lacy tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. 2,695 cases were made.

Packed with more tension, the 2023 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors offers more red fruit, with crunchy red cherries, dusty earth, red roses, and lifted spice. The palate is medium-bodied and has a more sporty feel, with bright, salty freshness of acidity, notes of bergamot and floral spice, and a more mineral texture that lasts long on the finish. Give it another year and drink over the following 15-20 years. These are the spring releases from Williams-Selyem and were tasted with Vice President and Director of Winemaking Jeff Mangahas at the estate in the Russian River Valley.
