The 2022 Williams Selyem Lewis MacGregor Estate Pinot Noir is a single-estate Pinot Noir from the renowned Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, California. Sourced from the Lewis MacGregor Estate Vineyard, this wine reflects the region's cool climate and the winery's meticulous approach to small-lot winemaking. The nose is intensely aromatic with layers of black cherry, wild raspberry and cranberry, complemented by rose petals, baking spice, forest floor and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and remarkable precision. Concentrated flavours of red and black berries are intertwined with hints of black tea, clove, dried herbs and earthy minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish with exceptional balance and finesse. While beautifully expressive now with a gentle decant, it has the structure to cellar gracefully for 10–15 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a refined, site-driven wine from one of California's most respected producers. Pair it with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or mature Gruyère. Decant for around 30 minutes before serving to fully appreciate its layered aromatics, silky texture and remarkable complexity.
