Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Aromas of coconut, pomegranate, sweet cherries, and blackberries emerge from the voluptuous, textured, layered 2002 Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard. Surprisingly accessible and plump for a Williams-Selyem Pinot, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years.

Wine Enthusiast
Another Williams Selyem wine that tasters had differing opinions about. Several liked its rich array of black cherry, spicy plum and smoky oak, and overall balance and lushness. But one reviewer found it flabby and soft, with some residual sugar. You decide.

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.
