Williams Selyem 2011 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir – A Collector’s Dream

Experience the artistry of California winemaking with this 96-point rated Pinot Noir from Williams Selyem’s coveted Allen Vineyard. Meticulously crafted from 1970s-era vines in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, this vintage marries power with elegance—offering layered flavors of sun-ripened raspberries, dark cherries, and earthy truffle notes, framed by vibrant acidity and silky tannins.

Why This Wine Stands Out:

• Critically Acclaimed: Celebrated by Wine Enthusiast as a “Cellar Selection” for its complexity of orange zest, rosehip tea, and smoky oak—balanced to evolve beautifully over 15+ years.
• Vineyard Legacy: Grown in thin hillside soils, these mature vines yield concentrated fruit with a savory depth of bay leaf and persimmon, a hallmark of old-vine character.
• Perfectly Structured: At 14.1% ABV, it’s both rich and nimble—praised by Connoisseurs Guide for its “precision and fruity depth” that lingers with a polished finish.

Ideal for collectors or special occasions, this 2011 vintage captures the cool-climate elegance of Russian River Valley. Pair with duck confit or wild mushrooms to elevate its earthy nuances.
