2006 Williams Selyem Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard 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 commeSOTTrcial 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 An impressive wine, the 2006 Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard exhibits notes of crushed rocks, raspberry, sweet and sour cherries, good acidity, dark ruby color, and a broad, savory mouthfeel with some tart acids and sweet tannins in the finish.
    Antonio Galloni Rating 93 AG - Dark red. Sexy, room-filling scents evoke raspberry, cherry preserves, blackberry, Asian spices and fresh flowers. Energetic red berry flavors stain the palate and are enlivened by tangy minerals. Strikingly fresh and focused wine with admirable finesse and finishing cut. One of the more lively pinots I tasted on my trip.
    Wine Spectator Rating Good intensity and focus, if on a modest scale, with wild berry and black cherry fruit that's mouthwatering and firmly tannic.
