More than two decades after Williams Selyem Winery produced its first vintage of Pinot Noir in 1981, everyone at the winery, from the owners and winemaking team to the temporary crush help, is still as passionate about making the most luscious, flavorful wines as the crew who made that first vintage. Every person, no matter what his or her job, is truly proud to be a part of the creation of the most highly prized Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. Click the links below to learn more about us.

Established in 1882, the revival of the winery begins with the purchase and reunification of the estate by Jim Barrett in 1972. In a few short years, Chateau Montelena put California at the forefront of the wine world by winning the Judgment of Paris in 1976. At this pivotal event, Chateau Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay was selected as the top-ranking wine in a blind tasting of 4 white Burgundies and 6 California Chardonnays. Today, Chateau Montelena is honored on the National Register of Historic Places and stands as a quality icon, consistently producing some of the finest and sought-after wines in California.
