2000 Williams Selyem Vista Verde Pinot 
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 earthy, foresty, cool climate tasting 2000 Pinot Noir Vista Verde (300 cases) offers hints of plum and cherry fruit, but overall this is a mushroom lover's Pinot (damp, mossy, forest floor, and underbrush notes).
    Antonio Galloni Rating Good ruby-red color. Intriguing aromas of black cherry, underbrush, mushroom and roast coffee. Dense and strong in the mouth, with a distinct note of smoky torrefaction. Not especially primary but has real dimension. The interesting flavors reminded me of a wine from Morey-Saint-Denis.
    Wine Spectator Rating Tight, with an herbal edge to the dusty berry, plum and black cherry flavor. Finishes with finely integrated tannins, excellent balance and a touch of anise.
