The 2004 Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard has a dark ruby color and, again, high acids with the raspberry and sour cherry notes intermixed with some earth and a crushed rock and chalk finish. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

This is the best Weir yet from Williams Selyem. It’s not in the league of their great Sonoma County bottlings, but is a rich wine capable of aging. It’s tannic and acidic for a Pinot, but never loses its silky quality, and is deeply flavored in black cherries, raspberries, cola and pomegranate. Drink now—2010. ——S.H.(3/1/2007)—— 89
