Vintage Notes
Embodying the poise and purity that make the 1975 Pinot Noir plantings at Selleck Vineyard so remarkable, this gorgeous wine begins with lifted aromas of raspberry and strawberry, followed by notes of bramble and Bing cherry. On the soft, supple palate, elegant tannins and juicy acidity underscore alluring flavors of black plum and raspberry, with hints of candied fruit lingering on the long, resonant finish.
