Winemaker Notes
The very concentrated flavors of wild raspberry, boysenberry, licorice and currants burst onto your palate. Aromas of ripe, sweet raspberry cobbler and spice fill your glass. The ripe, fat tannins coat your mouth and finish with a perception of sweetness due to the mouth watering acidity. Very dense and rich, it will age nicely over the years.

Wine Enthusiast
A big, boldly powerful but elegant Zinfandel, full-bodied in the mouth and dry, offering waves of ripe fruits and spices. The cool 2007 vintage has kept the wine from being too ripe, resulting in balanced flavors of blackberries, currants, licorice, bacon, cocoa, black pepper and Asian spices. Just terrific. Drink over the next six years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Zinfandel Forchini Vineyard (14.8% alcohol) displays a dense ruby/purple color along with aromas of brambleberries, jammy strawberries, earth, wood spice, and pepper. Full-bodied, rich, and powerful, it is a youthful, yet striking Zinfandel that should last for 8-10 years.

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.
