95+ points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "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. Drink: 2025-2040. (6/27/24)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "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. Drink now through 2034. 805 cases made. (9/30/24)"
Producer notes: "Planted to one of the highest density spacings in the Russian River Valley, the wine showcases power, grace and elegance. The nose leads with notes of black cherry and raspberry that meld into hints of Earl Grey tea to offer a kaleidoscope of aromas. A dried flower note further adds complexity. The palate is equally sensational with red and black fruit flavors that transition to excellent acid verve that ultimately give way to a substantial, yet refined tannin structure."
