Winemaker Notes:

“The Block 10 Mass Selection Pinot Noir represents a slight departure in winemaking for us at Williams Selyem. In addition to the Francois Frres barrels we traditionally use, we also used 50% Marcel Cadet (a water-bent barrel) from Dargaud et Jaegle. Furthermore, 35-38% whole cluster was used in the uninoculated fermentation to add additional complexity and purity of site. The wine is then aged in 50% new oak and 50% once used oak for 20-22 months. The true persona of this location is very much verbalized in this wine. We are crafting each of these vintages to hopefully mature in a decade or two. In the summer we will be offering tours of the Block 10 Mass Selection vineyard for a chance to share more about the different clones planted to this site. We hope you will come experience this project, which has proved to be an insightful and tasty endeavor.”
