Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A certain wild character is immediately evident on the nose of this Precious Mountain Pinot Noir which perfectly embodies the uniqueness of this site. Dark berry aromas, pomegranate, and dried herb notes combine in a very complex and layered nose. Hints of soy are juxtaposed with very light and airy tones of cedar and citrus. Cloaked in the wonderful extract are robust mountaintop tannins that drive to an elegant finish of citrus and minerals. As usual, this wine will benefit from a little age, if you can keep your hands off it.

Professional Ratings

  • 96

    This is a robust, full-bodied and intriguing wine. Rasp- berry liqueur, currant and crisp ­orange peel combine around light oak spice, dried herb and tree bark. The tannins are firm and structured, giving the wine a stately feel.

  • 96

    The 2019 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard is layered and intense, with detailed bitters and herbal tones complementing its pomegranate and blueberry fruit. It continues to gain nuance as it airs in the glass, opening to a perfume of rooibos tea leaves, lavender and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is equally compelling, offering bold fruits supported by grainy tannins and refreshing acidity that calls you back for another sip.

  • 95

    The 2019 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard is highly aromatic with medicinal herbs, grenadine, and cedar. The palate is more compact, with underlying tension, and notes of red cherry, stony earth, and orange oil.

  • 94

    A lovely dark-fruited nose with plums, black cherries, thyme and earth. Full-bodied with sandy tannins and wet-stone mineral character. Juicy. Paprika and ground cloves accent the fruit. Good weight and texture.

  • 90

    A fruit-forward style, with blackberry and blueberry flavors backed by zesty acidity. Features minerally and hot stone accents that linger on the finish, with peppery hints.

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.

The Sonoma Coast AVA is large in area but, not counting overlapping regions like Russian River Valley, only has a few thousand acres of grapevines—and it’s no wonder. Much of the region is rugged and not easily accessible. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean’s fog and cool breezes limits the varieties that can be cultivated, but it proves to be an ideal environment for high quality Pinot Noir.

Since fog is a frequent fact of life here, as are heavy marine layers that sometimes bring rain, the best vineyards are wisely planted above the fog line, on picturesque ridges that capture enough sun to provide even ripening. That, with the overnight drop in temperature that reliably preserves acidity, results in fine expressions of Pinot Noir that often receive tremendous critic and consumer praise alike, and are often in high demand.
