This vintage began auspiciously with historical average rainfall and modest temperatures at the start of bud break. Ample sunshine and early heat resulted in even growth of the canopies, creating uniformity and balance as the vines entered the flowering cycle. While it was similarly cool at the outset of 2011, the 2023 heat units built slowly, and the weather was ideal by May. The flowering period was quick, and the fruit set bountiful. The weather was perfect in June and July, with a few heat spikes that kept the plants healthy and sustained.

With the cooler start to the vintage and the normal fog pattern of August, the ripening cycle slowed, and the crop achieved ideal hang time for tannin development at modest sugars. Across the board, the wines exhibit terrific purity of character with excellent tannin resolution. While hot and dry years can create wines of shocking intensity, these cooler vintages showcase the elegant style of Williams\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scayt-misspell-word\" data-scayt-word=\"Selyem\" data-wsc-lang=\"en_US\" data-wsc-id=\"mn4qbpftklokdi9h6\"\u003eSelyem\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE VINEYARDS The\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scayt-misspell-word\" data-scayt-word=\"Pinot\" data-wsc-lang=\"en_US\" data-wsc-id=\"mn4qbpw2ajlxpr7dg\"\u003ePinot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scayt-misspell-word\" data-scayt-word=\"Noir\" data-wsc-lang=\"en_US\" data-wsc-id=\"mn4qbpw1gm970fg15\"\u003eNoir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor this blend was sourced from the following vineyards: Falstaff, Putnam, Starkey, and Terra de\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scayt-misspell-word\" data-scayt-word=\"Promissio\" data-wsc-lang=\"en_US\" data-wsc-id=\"mn4qbpw02exaqoul4\"\u003ePromissio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Williams Selyem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43922369446112,"sku":"108940","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/williams-selyem-williams-selyem-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast_1.jpg?v=1678813419","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/williams-selyem-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
