2012 Williams Selyem Olivet Lane 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
    Antonio Galloni Rating 93 AG - Bright ruby. Pungent, smoke-tinged aromas of dried cherry, blackberry and musky herbs, with a potpourri nuance building in the glass. Juicy, concentrated and expansive, offering cherry-cola and licorice pastille flavors and a hint of rose. Building tannins shape the clinging, smoky finish, which leaves a bitter cherry note behind. Bob Cabral told me he thinks this vineyard is producing more masculine wines than it did in the past.
    Wine Spectator Rating A bit disjointed, with stone-laced red berry, cranberry, cedar and herb flavors. The tannins make a strong impression that one hopes will lessen with time.
