Winery: Williams Selyem / San Benito County
The raspberry, cherry and blackberry flavors are delicious, and the oak brings just the right touch of sweet, smoky toast. The tannins are rich and fine, and the palate bears a streak of citrusy acidity that cuts right down the middle. It should mellow with 5–6 years in the bottle.
