Winemaker Notes
Raspberry and strawberry flavors intermingle with subtle hints of vanilla, leather and earth. Aromas of rose petals emerge after some time in the glass. Flavors of smoked meats, nutmeg and coffee round out the elegant tannin profile. The clonal mix of Swan, Pommard, Mt. Eden and Jackson continue to produce wines of a dynamic nature.

Wine Enthusiast
This is beautifully lilting in preciously defined aromas of rose petal and wild strawberry. From there, it’s all subtlety and ethereal elegance. The wine is restrained, nurtured in a basket of nutmeg and graham cracker, as well as freshly packed mushroomy earth. This wine is a stunner right out of the glass, but is sure to continue its fine course through 2022–2025.

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.
