2003 Williams Selyem Sonoma County 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 Good deep red. Musky, truffley aromas of plum, blackberry, currant, tobacco, smoked meat, cola and espresso, with a note of charred oak. Then supple and spicy in the mouth, showing more meat and truffle than fruit. Could use a bit more mid-palate definition. Finishes with light, dusty, slightly dry tannins.
    Wine Spectator Rating Firm and intense, with a spicy edge to the nutmeg, moderately ripe cherry and wild berry fruit. A supple, evenhanded effort that drinks easy.
