Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard has a perfume of white flowers and peaches with lush, honey-like undertones and notes of roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and polished with expansive fruit character, seamless freshness and a long, mineral-driven finish. 200 cases were made.

All seven of the Williams Selyem whites I tasted for this report were thin, watery and lacking in vineyard signatures.
About the producer
Williams Selyem is an iconic Russian River Valley winery best known for its Pinot Noir. Producing restrained yet classically Californian expressions of the heartbreak grape (as well as a host of other wines), the property has gone from pioneer to one of the region’s standard-bearers.
