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.

600 cases |
| Robert Parker Rating | 92+ RP - There are 600 cases of the dense purple-colored 2000 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard (a Rochioli-owned vineyard just up the street from Williams-Selyem). The wine offers a great deal of promise, revealing plenty of black fruit (black cherry, raspberry, and currants), soil, and mineral notes. |
|---|
| Antonio Galloni Rating | 92 AG - Good full ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, violet, cola, licorice and sarsaparilla. Dense and powerful, but quite closed in the middle and not as pliant as the Allen. Less supple and perfumed today. But this has excellent structure to repay aging. These young vines produced excellent wine in '99 and again here. |
