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 acidic flavors of the deep ruby/purple-colored 2003 Pinot Noir Peay Vineyard are accompanied by cranberry, raspberry, red currant, and cold steel characteristics. Clearly a cool climate Pinot with striking minerality, high acidity, and a pure, delineated style, it should age for a decade or more. |

| Antonio Galloni Rating | (14.4% alcohol; from vines planted in 1998) Very good medium ruby color. Wild black fruits, violet and smoke on the nose. A dense, muscular wine that delivers a real whack of fruit. Quite powerful and penetrating if not yet especially complex. Lifted by a tangy note of cranberry. This structured, large-scaled wine has a lower pH (3.45) than this winery's other 2003 pinots and is quite distinct in style. From a very cool site that clearly offers considerable potential. |

| Wine Spectator Rating | 92 WS- Tightly wound, intense without being overbearing, with dense mineral, black cherry and wild berry. Sharply focused and deeply concentrated, the finish is rich and persistent, with wonderful detail and length. |
