Winemaker Notes
The bright, vivid color of the 2013 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir suggests brightness through and through. Red cherry and violets intermix with notes of cinnamon stick, Rooibos tea, and earthen pottery. Red fruits and spice continue on the palate. Laser-like acidity through the middle is balanced with the overall thickness of this wine and gives it a round, polished feel. Allow this wine to blossom in the glass or age for three to five years before enjoying, if you have the patience. This is a classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir in the making.
Professional Ratings

Wine Enthusiast
This wine, a regional blend, shows remarkable achievement in winemaking. Wild strawberry and red cherry exude on the entry, alongside floral elements of violet and lilac. Velvety, resolved tannins make it enjoyable from the get-go, layered in acidity for a buoyant lift on the midpalate and finish, which suggests cinnamon and tea. Enjoy now and through 2020.

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.
