Williams Selyem Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III 2016
The Winery
Williams Selyem
Ed Selyem and Burt Williams pursued their winemaking dream in a garage in Forestville, California. Their first vintage was produced in 1982 and within five years, their demand exceeded supply and a wait list was created. Selyem fans had to wait, at times, up to three years to purchase one of these delectable bottles! They quickly gained cult status and set a new standard for Pinot Noir. Now the Dyson family owns the winery and is still created outstanding Pinot Noir.
Summary
The Williams Selyem Cabernet Sauvignon from the Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III is a distinguished wine from California's renowned Napa Valley. Crafted from the exceptional 2016 vintage, it showcases a core of ripe cassis and black cherry, complemented by elegant notes of violet and the distinctive 'Rutherford dust' cocoa. The wine is structured with fine-grained tannins and a polished finish, enhanced by hints of cedar and graphite. With its powerful profile and remarkable depth, this Cabernet is designed for aging, promising to evolve beautifully over 10 to 20 years. Its limited production and allocation-only availability make it a rare gem in the Williams Selyem collection.
