Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of ripe Rainier cherries, strawberry, root beer and spice dominate the nose in this wine. Concentrated flavors of cherries, wild strawberry, sassafras and mocha are complemented by the rich extracted grape and oak tannin in the finish. The maturity of these vineyard blocks has begun to show through in the depth and complexity of this wine.

Wine Enthusiast
Fairly tannic, this lovely Pinot Noir has a dusty, dry astringency that tamps down the palate’s enjoyment of the fruit, and suggests aging. Yet the vast flavors range from cherries, pomegranates and persimmons to the cola and Asian spices that always characterize WS Pinots. Best after 2010 and for six years or so.

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.
