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 2010 Pinot Noir Williams Selyem Estate Vineyard is arguably the most complete of these 2010 Pinots. Rose petals, dark red berries, spices and licorice are woven together with a level of pure finesse that I don't see in the other Williams Selyem 2010s. A long, subtle, beautifully perfumed finish makes it impossible to resist a second taste. There is so much to admire in the 2010 today, but I also sense it will age quite gracefully. |

| Antonio Galloni Rating | 94 AG - Opaque ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry, potpourri and sandalwood are complicated by notes of coffee, mocha and anise. Offers a suave combination of richness and restrained sweetness, with berry liqueur and floral pastille flavors lifted by zesty minerality. This sharply focused, vibrant pinot finishes sweet, seamless and very long, with resonating spiciness and a hint of dusty tannins. |
|---|
| Wine Spectator Rating | Understated and subdued, with sour cherry and wild berry flavors that are spicy and earthy, ending with chewy tannins. |
