Fully mature aromas of leather and sandalwood lead the way here. While most of the primary fruit element is gone, this is still a gorgeous example of an aged Pinot Noir with a silky texture, lovely acidity, and complex earthy, savory tones. It is by no means over-the-hill, but certainly a wine for those who don’t look for upfront fruit.

Notes

Planted in 1975 and situated with a southeastern exposure at 2,200 feet in elevation but still in the direct path of cooling winds from the Pacific, the 4.8-acre Selleck vineyard is composed of rocky soils that feature a mix of decomposed granite and limestone outcroppings. It enjoys a bit more sun exposure than the other sites, yielding wines of deep flavor, intensity, and structural refinement.
