Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The aromas of blackberry, boysenberry cobbler, cola and white truffles come to life in the glass. Rich, silky and broad tannins harmonize the focus of berry and spicy flavors across your palate. The depth and intensity of this wine warrants further cellaring.
Professional Ratings
-
Wine Enthusiast
Fairly tannic and very dry, with ripe, jammy flavors of cherries and raspberries that taste like they were baked into a pie sprinkled with cocoa and cinnamon, and then drizzled with anisette liqueur.
-
Wine Spectator
Firm in texture and structure, this is full-bodied, intense and concentrated, with layers of black cherry, wild berry, mineral, anise and spice. Tightly wound, so cellar time is appropriate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From another Russian River vineyard, the 2006 Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard displays pomegranate, crushed rocks, some background oak, and a sweet, elegant, broad mouthfeel with some blacker fruits in the finish.

Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better.
