Great as always. — 3 months ago
Medium golden color. Right after opening, a honeycrisp apple, citrus, grapefruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate are evident. After some breathing, wine shows plenty of oxidative notes. It has a medium rich, creamy mouthfeel. First vintage to go through malo — 4 months ago

2023 vintage in October 2025. Bought at the winery in September 2025. Appreciated. — 7 months ago
Ruby red color with red fruit aromas and spicy floral notes, aged for 10 months in 40% new French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and strawberry with tea and earthy tones. Fine smooth tannins, well balanced with acidity, nice mouthfeel, long finish ending with earthy toasty oak character. Very fresh will continue to age! Nice! Pair with with a grilled chop! — 2 months ago
This wine will be excellent after at least 2 plus years of bottle aging. Go out and get some, I have access if you need it. — 4 months ago
Really very good. Probably best wine I’ve had from Ceritas. 12.3%, tastes old school but with slightly more new world flavor characteristics like warm spices and purple berries. Great acid and lingering finish. Very enjoyable and fun to try with the age. — 7 months ago
Slight nod over the Rivers-Marie 2013 Gioia (still very fruit driven) and Failla 2013 Occidental Ridge. The Littorai was the most evolved and Burgundian of the bunch. — 8 months ago

Great as Pinots go but only good for this maker. These half bottles continue to perplex. — 4 months ago
So Williams Selyem Pinots should be treated is the same fashion as good burgundy, with age. It will always be somewhat sweeter than red burgundy but nonetheless very good.
