The Winery

Williams Selyem

Ed Selyem and Burt Williams pursued their winemaking dream in a garage in Forestville, California. Their first vintage was produced in 1982 and within five years, their demand exceeded supply and a wait list was created. Selyem fans had to wait, at times, up to three years to purchase one of these delectable bottles! They quickly gained cult status and set a new standard for Pinot Noir. Now the Dyson family owns the winery and is still created outstanding Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

CG91
Pristine, cherry-like fruit is teamed with neatly placed oak in a way that makes for fine first impressions here, yet for all of the wine’s varietal precision and considerable fruity charm, it is framed by enough slightly piquant acidity to wind up a touch tart and nervy. That said, its essential fruit is both constant and quite deep, and it is structured to grow. It is far more than a pretty face, and we would lobby for no less than three or four years of age.
WA91
From one of the famous iconic sites associated with Williams Selyem, juicy black and red currants, cherries, crushed rock and spice jump from the glass of the dark ruby 2013 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard. It is medium to full-bodied, still tannic and youthful, and a likely candidate for improvement over the next 5-6 years. Moreover, it should last 15 or more. Rating: 91+
