The 2009 Pinot Noir Mass Selection Block 10-Estate Vineyard stands apart from the rest of the Pinots in this lineup. It was made from a 3-acre plot within the Estate Vineyard planted with multiple Pinot clones. The 2009 was vinified with 37% whole clusters and aged for 21 months in French oak, longer than the norm here. In the glass the wine comes across as clunky and heavy, with limited energy. The fruit never seems to fully emerge. For now, the 2009 signals a work in progress. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. I tasted a dizzying array of Pinot Noirs from Williams Selyem and winemaker Bob Cabral. Yields were down in 2009 because of bunch-stem necrosis, a condition that can occur because of weather/humidity extremes or mineral imbalances. Otherwise, it was a pretty regular vintage with an even set and a harvest that took place beginning in early September.Tel. (707) 433-6425
