Williams Selyem
Peay Vineyard Pinot Noir
Williams Selyem with this kind of age never disappoints, nor does the 2012 Napa/Sonoma vintage.
Mid & darker fruits & mid berry cola burst out of glass. Limestone minerals, crushed rock, steeped tea and bright, fresh red florals.
It glides on the palate with ripe, juicy fruits that are; dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries, pomegranate, dry cranberries, blueberries & some boysenberries. Red cola/licorice, dark spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanillin, dark rich soil, dry twig, crushed limestone, dry top soil, saline, fresh, bright, dark, red forals with violets, excellent rainfall acidity with an elegant, balanced finish that falls on dry minerals and that lasts two-minutes.
Quality consistent yr in yr out. Their style is my Pinot wheelhouse. Now owned by Domaine Faiveley.
Photos of; winery, tasting room and estate vineyards.

Another blind tasting. Mistook it for the Peay Sonoma Coast. But called the year it was from Peay… So good.

Aug 9th, 2023Deliciously dark, with classic Sonoma coast core. Showing a bit of age, but still a freshness lingered. Solid!

Sep 10th, 2021In its absolute sweet spot. Perfect acidity, perfect texture and perfect finish. Bing cherries, black cherry cola, spicy rhubarb. Really nice cherry/fleshy red fruit skin dominant finish.

Oct 8th, 20162012 Peay needed a good 20 minutes after opening to express itself. Black cherry and other black fruits then jump from the glass. Great balance , good body and acidity. CB 93
