2013 Williams Selyem Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

(93 Points)   ---   (Burghound)

Here the cool and restrained nose only grudgingly offers up its beautifully layered aromas of spice, tea, lilac, red currant and pomegranate. There is excellent verve and delineation to the medium-bodied, caressing and seductive yet entirely serious flavors that are like a coiled spring before concluding in a wonderfully long if mildly austere finish. This is very Zen-like in its understated sense of harmony and refinement yet there is no lack of underlying material that should easily see this amply rewarding up to a decade of cellar time, indeed it will need at least 4 to 5 as this is very tightly wound at present. *Outstanding*
