2004 Williams Selyem Westside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir
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 most seductive but somewhat superficial wine is the 2004 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors, made from the fruit of five nearby vineyards that are blended together. This has a slightly darker color than the previous two wines, with more sweet cherry, damp earth, and underbrush notes.
    Antonio Galloni Rating (60% new oak) Good red-ruby. Exotic, very ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, cola and orange peel. Broad, lush and fat, with expressive flavors of strawberry, minerals and spices along with some loamy earth tones. Finishes with lush tannins and lingering sweetness. A classic Russian River Valley pinot made mostly from fruit from the Allen, Riverblock, Flax, Bucher and Bacigalupi vineyards.
    Wine Spectator Rating Sleek and delicate, with a trim band of spicy cherry, earth, mineral and sage. Ends with a dash of citrus that gives it a cleansing quality.
