Winemaker Notes
Situated in the Santa Rosa Plain area of the Russian River Valley AVA, the historic Olivet Lane Vineyard always delivers a nose of dried rose petals and a bowl of black cherries. Fresh ground nutmeg, subtle notes of vanilla, and bergamot complement the rich and brooding aromatic profile. The palate is equally as compelling and offers a round and persistent flavor of black cherry and cherry pit. The acid is perfectly balanced and is seamlessly integrated into the black tea-like architecture of tannins. A wonderful lift of citrus and nutmeg on the finish keeps the palate refreshing and adds intrigue.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple in color and scented of rose hip tea, tilled soil and dried, fallen leaves with a core of red currants and cranberries plus a waft of potpourri. Medium-bodied and jam-packed with vivacious, youthful red fruit, it has a plush texture and invigorating finish. 302 cases produced.

Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better.
