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.

    Antonio Galloni Rating (mostly from young vines planted on the new estate vineyard called Drake) Full yellow-gold color. Wild, exotic aromas of grapefruit zest and truffle. Fat, sweet, truffley and wild, with suggestions of minerals and tropical fruits. Not hugely complex but long on personality. Drink this over the next three or four years.
    Wine Spectator Rating 93 WS - Opulent and creamy, with complex fig, date, marshmallow and earthy citrus notes that are beautifully balanced, supple and harmonious, finishing with a long, silky aftertaste.
