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 | Aromas of flowers, strawberries, black cherries, and rose petals waft from the glass of the medium dark ruby-hued 2003 Pinot Noir Rochioli River Block Vineyard. While it boasts noble grand cru-like aromatics (flowers, raspberries, cherries, and crushed rocks), the wine is reserved in the mouth, suggesting 1-2 years of bottle age will be beneficial. |
|---|
| Antonio Galloni Rating | Good medium-deep red. Spicy, high-toned aromas of plum and earth. Full, broad and dry, with slightly edgy flavors of spices, humus and tobacco. Not especially sweet or fruit-driven. Finishes with substantial oakiness and slightly drying tannins. |
|---|
| Wine Spectator Rating | Hints of cherry, nutmeg, mineral and spice in the nose, turning taut on the palate, where the flavors are supported by firm acidity and tannins. |
