Red fruited at first nosing; the wine showcases a floral character beloved in Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs. There is an earthy, dried herb component mixed with a touch of bergamot which adds to the complexity to the kaleidoscope of aromas. A burst of red fruits mix with flavors of Earl Grey tea on the round but well-balanced palate, and the acidity keeps the wine fresh on the tongue.

Critical Acclaim

JS95
James Suckling

A pleasant mix of aromas of ripe red fruit and berries and earthy spice and bark. Medium-to full-bodied with velvety tannins. The harmony between dark fruit and spice continues on the palate, together with additional layers of wet-stone minerality. Very good intensity throughout the long finish. Really well done and refined. Drink after 2024.

Wine Enthusiast

Beautifully perfumed in aromas of rose petal and freshly turned earth, this wine is a delicious statement on the power of blending across the appellation. It shows tangy layers of boysenberry, cranberry and black tea against accents of clove, cardamom, herbes de Provence and orange peel.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Williams Selyem Russian River Valley Pinot Noir offers a lush, rich, and persistent experience on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows up with aromas and flavors of ripe, red fruits, mineral notes, a hint of oak. Pair it with a spit-roasted, garlic and rosemary-infused leg of lamb.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has lush aromas of wild berry preserves, aniseed, forest floor, potpourri and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is deeply fruited, wonderfully spiced and seamlessly structured, with a very long, layered finish.

Lots of smoky red and black fruits, peppery herbs, forest floor, and floral notes emerge from the 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, another medium-bodied, ethereal, elegant wine from this estate. It too has some oak to integrate yet has beautiful tannins and a great finish. Give it a year or two as well.

Connoisseurs' Guide

On the slightly fuller and weightier side, yet still exhibiting the pure and pretty fruit for which its appellation is renowned, this is a well-filled youngster of fine breadth and focus. It inclines to firmness but stops well short of being tough, and its tannins are of a velvety sort that never detract from its very continuous, dark cherry fruit. It has the flesh and bones to definitely improve with age, and, though it is not at all hard to access now, its best looks to lie a few years down the line.
