2012 Williams Selyem "Rochioli Riverblock" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Just needs some cellaring toThere are four Pinot offerings from the Russian River, including the 2012 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard. This wine offers blueberry, boysenberry and wet rock like characteristics, medium body, nicely integrated acidity, pure blue and red fruits, and an attractive mouthfeel as well as finish. Moderately endowed and medium bodied, it should drink well for a decade. (RP)
