Williams Selyem Saitone Estate Vineyard Zinfandel 2022 guy-yvan-dufouleur and aging is done inA sensational nose of boysenberry and brambles jump from the glass to captivate the senses. Hints of pomegranate, citrus, and black pepper add further complexity. Sizeable in structure and weight, the black fruit character predominates and is wonderfully balanced by the tanginess of citrus. Hints of clove and wood spices add a perfume and levity to the bouquet. Refreshing and balanced, this wine highlights what old vine Zinfandel is all about.
