    Vintage: 2023

    The Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2023 is a beautifully layered and expressive wine that captures the heart of Sonoma’s most famous Pinot region. Crafted by winemaker Jeff Mangahas and associate winemaker Jessica Gilmore, this vintage delivers both complexity and charm, making it a must-try for Pinot lovers in the USA.

    In the glass, this Pinot Noir shines with a vibrant ruby red color. Right away, you’ll notice alluring aromas of sarsaparilla, Bing cherries, and ripe wild strawberries. As the wine opens, deeper layered notes of anise and dried sage bring out the wine’s complexity, inviting you to explore every sip. The seductive scent doesn’t fool you—it’s only the beginning of a wine that’s complex, quintessential, and full of depth.

    On the palate, this Russian River Valley Pinot Noir brings together bright citrus, black tea, and smooth velvety tannins. You’ll taste the grace and power of perfectly ripened tannins, balanced with a juicy acidity and an alluring, lengthy finish. There’s a clear sense of balance, purity, and completeness in this blend, which also gives off notes of bergamot, floral spice, and a classic forest floor and freshly shoveled loam character that fans of Williams Selyem wines prize so highly.

    The Williams Selyem Pinot Noir 2023 was sourced from top vineyards in the Russian River Valley, including Drake, Hallberg, Laguna, Martaella, Rochioli Riverblock, Saitone Estate, and the Williams Selyem Estate. The 2023 harvest enjoyed a return to normality after years of wild weather. A steady mix of sunshine, modest temperatures, and ample rain led to an even, uniform growing season. The vines achieved ideal hang time, allowing the fruit to develop terrific purity, intensity, and excellent tannin resolution.

    This vintage spent 11 months in barrel (41% new oak), bringing elegant, plush, and fresh structure to the final wine. With an ABV of 13.8%, the wine delivers plenty of flavor without being overpowering.

    Critics and longtime collectors agree: the Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2023 stands tall among California’s greats. It holds onto its red-berry fruit core while showing off that cool-climate elegant style that defines Williams Selyem wines. Whether you’re just starting out or have a seasoned cellar, this wine has a wide window of drinkability and only gets better with age.
