Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
A couple of newer clones are included from our vineyards on the Central Coast. The ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, star jasmine, mocha and spice dominate the nose. This wine shows broader and suppler tannins than the 2010 vintage, with a nice overall concentration and depth of fruit. A long, sweet cherry and silky oak finish completes this wine. Patience of 4-6 years will be rewarded.

Wine Enthusiast
This is not the winery's best bottling, but it is distinctive, coming from a county south of San Francisco on the way to Monterey. It shows the mouthwatering acidity of the vintage, along with cola, red currant and sandalwood flavors wrapped into ageworthy tannins. Give it six years at least.

Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better.
