We are the lowest price on Wine-Searcher and compare to
$74.99 Brown Derby International Wine Center
The 2008 Chardonnay Allen Vineyard has a beautiful nose of nectarine, white peach, subtle honey, brioche, and orange rind. Full-bodied, with good acidity, beautifully pure fruit, a sumptuous texture and very good minerality, this wine should drink well for 3-4 years.
Rated 93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

"Bob Cabral’s Chardonnays sometimes get lost in the brilliant glare of his Pinot Noirs, but he has spent years exploring the rich, flamboyant side of the variety, with great success. This bottling represents William Selyem Chardonnay at its best. It’s ultra-decadent in apricot and pear flavors, with a strong oak influence, and yet an underlying minerality and fine acidity balance it so that it doesn’t tire as you drink. In fact, you want more."

2008 Williams Selyem Chardonnay Russian River Valley Unoaked....$26.99
Compare to $59.99 Lincoln Fine Wines
$71.90 Wines at Work
"Williams Selyem is now playing the unoaked game, and with their fruit sources, wow. Most winemakers would kill to put oak onto these grapes. The wine is tremendous in pineapples, pears, papayas and kiwi fruit. It’s so rich, you won’t even notice the absence of caramel and all those oaky influences."

2008 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast.......$34.99
Compare to $49.99 Brown Derby International Wine Center
"Bright red. Vibrant aromas of raspberry, licorice, rose and sandalwood. Juicy and intense, with very good sweetness and fleshiness to the red berry and spicecake flavors. The silky tannins arrive late. I like the high-pitched, spicy fruit character of the sappy finish."
Rated 91/100 International Wine Cellar
2008 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma County...$26.99
Compare to $59.99 Bernards Wine Gallery
"Although this is the least costly of the winery’s Pinots, it’s a lovely wine. Blending from a vast source of vineyards has given winemaker Cabral the ability to fill in divots of every kind. Gentle and dry, this rich, complex Pinot Noir has the elegance and style you expect from Williams Selyem."
Rated 92/100 The Wine Enthusiast
2008 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Westside Neighbors....$51.99
Compare $80.99 Pismo Wine Shop
"Saturated red. Captivating aromas of cherry-cola, pepper, Indian spices, cocoa powder and sandalwood. Then intense, spicy and penetrating in the mouth, with vibrant raspberry and wild strawberry flavors dominating. Finishes pungent, spicy and long, with a palate-staining whiplash of flavor. This calls for another five years of aging."

2008 Williams Selyem Zinfandel Feeney Vineyard.....$39.99
Compare to $68.99 Wine.com
$74.99 Brown Derby International Wine Center
"The 2008 Zinfandel Feeney Vineyard has a beautiful nose of black raspberries, blackberry, and spice. Dark ruby purple, with high acid but enough body and richness to back up the aggressive acidification, this is an outstanding Zinfandel that should be drunk over the next 4-years, before the baby fat falls away and the acids take over."
Rated 90/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
"Opaque purple. Plum and dark berry aromas are complemented by smoky floral and spice qualities. Juicy and brisk, with complex, powerful flavors of boysenberry, cherry liqueur, licorice and cola. Finishes with substantial but harmonious tannins that fade into the lush dark fruit on the close. I'd be in no hurry to drink this. This is the last vintage for this wine as the vineyard with these ancient vines has been replanted to pinot noir."
Rated 92/100 International Wine Cellar
