2001 Williams Selyem Russian River Pinot Noir
It began in the late 1970s, initially as a garage project by Ed Selyem and Burt Williams in Forestville, a community in Sonoma County. In 1981 the pair – who were neighbors – officially named their project Hacienda Del Rio and established it as a legal winery. Two years later, the release of their first commercial vintage (1981) coincided with a cease-and-desist order from Hacienda Winery, leading them to change their name to Williams Selyem.

Williams Selyem found its success buying and bottling single-vineyard wines, with Pinot Noir as the focus. Single-vineyard wines were not new to California, but the first for Williams Selyem was its 1985 Rochioli Vineyard Pinot Noir.

While Pinot Noir dominates production, Williams Selyem also makes a small amount of Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and a Port-style fortified dessert wine. These offerings vary in production from year to year but many also carry single-vineyard designations.

    Robert Parker Rating The medium-bodied 2001 Pinot Noir Russian River exhibits a dark ruby color as well as complex aromas of sweet forest floor, damp earth, raspberries, red currants, and dried herbs.
    Antonio Galloni Rating (nearly half of this wine is from estate fruit; 40% new oak) Good deep red-ruby. Cool aromas of blackberry, plum, violet and spices. Tightly wound and lively in the mouth, with berry flavors complicated by dark chocolate, espresso and spicy oak. Offers good inner-mouth energy. Finishes with serious, oak-driven tannins that call for a few years of patience.
    Wine Spectator Rating Enticing aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, graham cracker and toasty oak. Deftly balanced and smooth, textured. Long, rich, elegant aftertaste.
