Williams Selyem Zinfandel RRV Bacigalupi 2014
This is a serious Zinfandel that offers aromas of blackberry bramble, plum, mocha and allspice. Luscious fruit coats the palate with mixed berries, spice, and toasty oak. This is a full throttle wine to be enjoyed now or anytime over the next 5-6 years.
William Selyem Winery
Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who started weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California. It took less than two decades from their first commercial vintage in 1981 for Burt and Ed to create a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together, they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, raising Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley to among the best winegrowing regions in the world.
