Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Rainier cherries, sage and wild herbs combine with savory notes to entice the nose, while oak-derived caramel and vanilla bean complete the bouquet. Concentrated flavors of dark fruit along with raspberries, cherry and cola integrate well with broad tannins and well balanced acidity. Lingering minerals, slate and chocolate-coated cherries complete the wine. The palate is very textured with elements of nutmeg, allspice and minerals juxtaposed to notes of mountain strawberry. A refreshing tang to the finish frames the overall suppleness of this unique site. As is typical with this vineyard site, the wine will grow in character and stature as it ages in bottle and the tannins integrate.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Complex and unusual flavors may bring you back for a second and third taste, wondering, is that red apple? Red pear? Cumin and carrots or cranberries? Meanwhile, the velvet cushion of tannins takes over, along with a mouthwatering freshness that lifts the complexity out of sweet earthiness. An intriguing pinot from a rocky, hillside vineyard planted to highly pedigreed stock: a selection said to hail from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti as well as a Pommard selection from Rochioli’s River Block.

Williams Selyem Winery , California
Williams Selyem Winery  Proprietors John and Kathe Dyson Winery Image

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.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
