2002 Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast 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
    Antonio Galloni Rating Deep ruby-red. Expressive aromas of black cherry, wild red berries, bitter chocolate, cardamom and sweet herbs. Bright, fresh and rather oaky, with racy acids giving the wine good cut. Finishes with a firm tannic spine and a repeating note of wild berries. Boasts good persistence but comes across as tougher today than the Sonoma County bottling. This needs 18 to 24 months of additional bottle aging.
    Wine Spectator Rating Lots to admire in this smooth, broad-flavored red, with a tasty core of plum and raspberry, touches of cherry and spice, finishing with a stewed plum aftertaste. Lively acidity gives it excellent structure and a long finish.
