Winemaker Notes
The heady scents of concentrated blackberries, wild raspberry jam, black pepper, spice, toffee and briery fruit rapidly evolve from your glass. Balanced acidity and round, chewy tannins help poise the extremely ripe fruit. Very concentrated flavors of raspberry, blackberry jam, chocolate and coffee overwhelm your palate and senses. Concentrated and complex, this wine will age very well into the near future.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a site made famous by Mike Officer at Carlisle, the 2007 Zinfandel Feeney Vineyard’s dense ruby/purple color is followed by a big, floral, boysenberry, black raspberry, and blackberry-scented bouquet. Rich, full-bodied, and substantial (14.7% alcohol), with good acidity and a long finish, it, too, should drink well for 7-8 years.

Wine Enthusiast
Here’s a big, rich, full-bodied Zin that calls for equally big foods, like tri-tip, barbecued ribs and Szechuan-style beef. Although it’s extremely dry, it’s fruity, with flavors of blackberries, mulberries and plums, accented with spices, sassafras and grilled meat.

Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better.
