The 2019 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard has lush aromas of wild berry preserves, blood orange, potpourri, aniseed and dusty earth. The medium-bodied palate is layered and pure, with a gentle grainy grip, refreshing acidity and expansive, spicy fruit on the long finish. It's lovely straight from bottle but will age well over the next decade.

Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard 2019
Pinot Noir | US
WA95
Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The one and only Williams Selyem from the Olivet Lane vineyard, owned by the Pellegrini family that trace their Italian roots back to 1900 when the family arrived from Tuscany from New York. Planted to the Martini Clone on sand, clay loam, it is a world-class site. Olivet Lane was one of the first Pinot Noir estates in all of the Russian River Valley. 95 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and one fo the gems of this incredible vintage.
About the Producer
Williams Selyem was created by two adventurous and passionate individuals, Burt Williams and Ed Selyem. If a grower hadn't given Burt Williams a few tons of free grapes in the 1970's, Burt might never have discovered his love and flair for winemaking. If Burt and his partner Ed Selyem, had been able to afford the French Burgundies they both favored, they might have never tried to make their own Pinot Noir. What started off as a humble project called Hacienda de Rio (which changed to Williams Selyem in 1983) has grown into a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together, they set a new standard for American made Pinot Noir and elevated Sonoma County's Russian River Valley to among the best wine growing regions in the world.
