Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The rich golden yellow color evokes an immediate appeal to this exotic wine. Musky notes mix with elements of gardenia, poached pear and apricot. Vanilla and cardamom aromas further add elegance and intrigue. Beautifully balanced in the mouth, the oiliness of the texture seems to be absorbed by the acidity giving a rather lithe mid-palate and finish. Flavors of poached pear, starfruit, and yellow plum are complemented with a gamut of baking spices. Enjoy this with an apricot galette topped with crème fraiche.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Orange blossom, tangerine souffle, light honey and gin-like botanical aromas show on the nose. The palate's concentrated sweetness combines orange zest with lemon cream, making for a nicely complex after-dinner sip.

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.

Apart from the classics, we find many regional gems of different styles.

Late harvest wines are probably the easiest to understand. Grapes are picked so late that the sugars build up and residual sugar remains after the fermentation process. Ice wine, a style founded in Germany and there referred to as eiswein, is an extreme late harvest wine, produced from grapes frozen on the vine, and pressed while still frozen, resulting in a higher concentration of sugar. It is becoming a specialty of Canada as well, where it takes on the English name of ice wine.

Vin Santo, literally “holy wine,” is a Tuscan sweet wine made from drying the local white grapes Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia in the winery and not pressing until somewhere between November and March.

Rutherglen is an historic wine region in northeast Victoria, Australia, famous for its fortified Topaque and Muscat with complex tawny characteristics.

Taking advantage of the cool Pacific breezes that arrive via gaps between the Gabilan Range and the Santa Lucia Mountains, San Benito AVA is a great Central coast source for cool climate whites and Pinot noir.
