Aromas of coconut, pomegranate, sweet cherries, and blackberries emerge from the voluptuous, textured, layered 2002 Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard. Surprisingly accessible and plump for a Williams-Selyem Pinot, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

Another Williams Selyem wine that tasters had differing opinions about. Several liked its rich array of black cherry, spicy plum and smoky oak, and overall balance and lushness. But one reviewer found it flabby and soft, with some residual sugar. You decide.——W.E.(11/1/2004)—— 90
