Began as a dream of 2 friends, Ed Selyem & Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, CA, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. Dark Ruby with complex aromas of black and red fruits with earthy herb scents. On the palate tart cherry and strawberry with cacao, earthy spice and notes of smoke. Aged on French Oak, this wine was well balanced, savory, round tannins, lingering nicely ending with some earthy mineral tones. Has room to age. Very nice!

Light, coastal, with lots of cranberry another under ripe red fruits. A fine effort, and pretty decent value from this producer.

Vertical tasting of William Selyem 2000-2013. The transition vintage. The third worst of the flight. Smells like dirty barrels… Someone mentioned toilet water?? To me musty (not corked though), ladybug-ish, dirt and ash.

Best Pinot I’ve had so far, but I’m not a Pinot guy. Thought it paired really well with some spicy food.
