Score 94/100 · James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, Sep 2024

This pulls you in with its alluring core of mulberry, boysenberry and red licorice notes, all inlaid with briar, singed spice and apple wood accents, while a flash of potpourri through the finish offers lift. The racy underpinning bodes well for cellaring. 805 cases made.

The youthful ripe ruby-colored 2022 Pinot Noir Martaella Vineyard displays a fresher approach. From a vineyard owned by the Benovia winery, Williams Selyem started making this wine as a vineyard designate in 2021. The nose is fantastic, with aromas of Amarena cherries, crushed violets, and mossy earth, and it has fantastic, mouthwatering acidity, with fine tannins and a terrific, citrus-toned finish. It is long on the palate with a great finish.
