A quintessential Russian River Valley character of red fruits, lavender, and citrus jump from the glass. Sourced from diverse sites throughout the AVA, the wine represents the best of the Middle Reach, Green Valley, Santa Rosa Plain, and the Laguna Ridge area. Each site has its unique signature and together they offer a complete picture of the beauty of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
On the palate, the wine showcases the grace and power of perfectly ripened tannins with juicy acidity and an alluring finish of black tea and bergamot. There is broad appeal with this wine and it has a wide window of drinkability.
Burt Williams and Ed Selyem started their winery in the Russian River Valley with two lofty goals: to craft wines that set the standard for excellence, and to come to know and serve their customers personally. From fermentation to bottling, the winery's methods do not include pumping, filtering or other processes that could unsettle or compromise the quality of the wine. They don't rush their grapes, but put emphasis on respecting the process, letting the final wines reward their efforts.
More than two decades after Williams Selyem Winery produced its first vintage of Pinot Noir in 1981, everyone at the winery is still as passionate about making the most luscious, flavorful wines as the crew who made that first vintage.
