Winemaker Notes

Complex perfume of wild cherries and raspberries, sweet roses, citrus blossom, Asian spice, green tea and toffee. In your mouth the ripe red berry flavors explode with a nice balance of acidity, morel mushrooms and espresso. The ripe, somewhat youthful tasting tannins are complemented by the concentration of fruit and long, succulent finish.

Professional Ratings

    Wonderful balance and purity of flavor, with pretty scents of rose petal, blackberry, raspberry, fresh earth and a touch of nutmeg from oak. This wine combines elegance and finesse with ripe, vivid yet delicate flavors that caress on the finish.
  • 92
    One of the smaller Williams-Selyem cuvees is the 266-case 2002 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain. One of the strongest efforts in this portfolio, it reveals some tightness/restraint on the aromatics, but with airing, considerable nuances develop. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by elegant raspberry, rose petal, strawberry, and scorched earth scents, and medium bodied flavors with tremendous elegance, purity, and depth.

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.

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.
