Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Red cherry and dark strawberry notes mix with the perfume of carnation, while subtle notes of spice and fresh herbs add depth and dimension to this wonderful offering from the hillsides of the Yorkville Highlands. With plantings nearly 30 years old, these vines are in their prime. The palate is unique with a wonderful juxtaposition of power and elegance. The tannins coat the palate and spread out in every direction leaving a gravelly, minerally sensation in its wake. Minerals typify the Weir site owing to the rocky soil and high elevation. Mid-term cellaring will round out the palate, but this wine can certainly be enjoyed young with the right food. Sashimi is the perfect partner for this wine, as the tannins complement the fattiness in the rich cuts of fish.

Professional Ratings

  • 95

    This impressive and complex wine offers power and finesse. The enticing aromas run from clove and tobacco to cinnamon and cedar, while rather tight black cherry and black tea flavors dominate the palate. Firm tannin's and bracing acidity form a great structure for aging. Best from 2025. Cellar Selection.

Williams Selyem Winery , California
Williams Selyem Winery  Proprietors John and Kathe Dyson Winery Image

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.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
