2023 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma County

Williams Selyem’s 2023 Sonoma County Pinot Noir is captivating—a wine radiant with purity, vibrant energy, and a seamless depth that lingers like a cherished memory. Drawn from revered vineyards, including Rochioli Riverblock, Martaella, and the estate’s treasured parcels, it embodies the soul of Sonoma’s most celebrated terroirs in a singular, transcendent expression.

 

Williams Selyem’s story began humbly in a garage, where Burt Williams and Ed Selyem channeled their passion for Burgundy into a quiet revolution. Unable to afford the wines they revered, they crafted their own, driven by vision, necessity, and an unwavering faith in Pinot Noir’s promise on California soil. Early handshake deals with growers forged a legacy built on trust and an uncompromising standard of excellence that redefined American Pinot Noir.

 

This wine shines with remarkable clarity from the exceptional 2023 vintage—a year hailed as a modern pinnacle. Its finely etched layers, vibrant tension, and site-specific character reflect an ideal growing season and a heritage rooted in passion, precision, and place. Discover this extraordinary Pinot Noir for yourself by reserving yours today.

On the palate, the wine has a silky smooth texture, unfolding concentrated flavors of wild red berries, cherry cola, zesty bergamot, and exotic spices. The wine has a long, luxurious finish, revealing each nuance layer of flavor with power and elegance, and destined to evolve beautifully with time in the cellar.”

Burt Williams and Ed Selyem had an affinity for Burgundy that neither of them could afford, so in the early 1970s, the two set out to make their own Pinot Noir. The goal was to produce wines for themselves; however, Burt nor Ed realized at the time that they were setting the standards for American Pinot Noir. Williams Selyem began with fruit purchased from growers with a simple handshake agreement, and 35 years later, those agreements are still in place and hold a testament to the loyal relationships Burt and Ed created. In 2009, their 2007 Litton Estate Pinot Noir was awarded a 100-Point score by Wine Enthusiast, making it the first California Pinot Noir with a perfect score. 
 
The 2021 Sonoma County Pinot Noir has stunning, pristinely balanced fruit quality from Drake Estate, Klopp, MacGregor, Putnam, Olivet Lane, and Starkey Vineyards. Despite the difficult beginning of the growing season, the vintage commenced with ideal temperatures and slightly below-average yields combined with exceptional fruit quality and vivacity, finely layered flavors, and site specificity.

“Layered and complex, the Sonoma County Pinot Noir offers strawberry and cherry fruit notes with hints of oolong tea. Clove and wood spices add further depth and intrigue. Sourced from many parts of the Russian River Valley and the Coast, this wine offers a broad brushstroke of the beauty of our diverse fruit sources. Red fruits on the palate with citrus peel undertones overlay onto the supple tannin structure that is refined and elegant.”
