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 ruby-colored 1997 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain reveals a sweet, expansive, black cherry nose intermixed with floral notes, smoky, toasty oak, and herbs. Expansive in the mouth, with fine richness, less intrusive acidity than some cuvees, and light tannin in the finish |

| Antonio Galloni Rating | Good medium red. Aromas of roasted red berries, black cherry, red licorice and pepper. A creamy mouthful of exotic wild berries and spices. Quite concentrated and firm-edged, with rather high but harmonious acidity. Very firm finish hints at pepper and green tea. Idiosyncratic but fascinating pinot, less evolved at a similar stage than the '96 was a year ago. |
