96-Points by Wine Enthusiast.
Deliciously fresh and lively from start to finish, this wine shows exceptional balance, elegance and complexity, a stunning showcase for the appellation in a challenging and warm vintage. Baking spice, forest and citrus play around light, focused layers of tangy strawberry and cherry with just enough richness to enthrall. 
 
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.
