Williams Selyem Fanucchi-Wood Road Zinfandel (2021)

Williams Selyem is one of California’s true Pinot Noir pioneers, born from a humble Russian River Valley garage and now celebrated worldwide for its elegant, vineyard‑driven wines. What began as a passion project in 1979 has grown into a benchmark estate known for precision, purity, and an unwavering commitment to expressing place. Today, the winery farms and partners with some of Sonoma County’s most coveted sites, crafting small‑lot Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel that consistently earn critical acclaim. Under the stewardship of the Faiveley family and longtime winemaker Jeff Mangahas, Williams Selyem continues to honor its heritage while pushing quality ever higher—delivering wines that are both collectible and deeply expressive in the glass.

Perfumed with sun-ripened red and black fruits, this wine is a  classic. Hints of peach cobbler are layered into the beautiful aromatics that add an interesting counterpoint along with notes of anise and fennel. Juicy and focused, the wine unravels on the palate with terrific tannin structure and a rich mouthfeel. These old vines are unmatched in their ability to produce a wine with both grace and power. Optimal drinking window – 2024-2031.
