The 1993 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is made in a cool-climate style with a light to medium ruby color already revealing some lightening at the edge. The nose is spicy and herbaceous, with sweet oak but not as much fruit as one expects from this winery. The wine is medium-bodied, slightly tart, with earthy, herb, and cherry flavors presented in a restrained, elegant format. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. The Williams-Selyem winery has long been a reference point for complex, sumptuous Pinot Noir. That being said, I thought the 1993s possessed a degree of herbaceousness and higher acidity than previous releases. As an unabashed fan of this winery's Pinot Noir, I must admit to being uninspired by the 1993s. Tel. (707) 433-6425
