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 16th, 2016Excellent - wine starting to be well integrated. Deep cherry and dark red fruits. A bit earthy. Keep holding.

Jan 16th, 2019When you taste this wine, it becomes immediately clear why the Peays stopped selling their fruit. The new standard-bearers for Sonoma Pinot Noir, Peay and Cobb, are showing the depth of flavor and texture that high-end Sonoma Coast fruit can deliver.

Jan 4th, 2019This delicious Pinot is ready to drink now and over the next few years. Savory red fruits with solid structure and a lengthy finish. Great juice.
