For all the glory and attention-grabbing cuvées of Pinot Noir from Williams Selyem, several wines remain under-the-radar, which is surprising given their high quality. These include their 2012 Chardonnay Allen Vineyard. Its light gold/greenish color is accompanied by a beautiful bouquet of honeyed citrus, peach, quince and white currants. Medium to full-bodied with great minerality, good acidity and a fresh, clean, lively style with no noticeable oak, it should drink well for 4-5 years.
