2002 Mistral Vineyard Port

2002 marked the second vintage of Port from our Estate Mistral Vineyard in southern Santa Clara County. This wine is more dense and rich than the 2001, with aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, smoky molasses, plums, and freshly ground coffee. The soft tannins provide for a good balance on the palate with hints of spice, rich dark fruits and a very long finish. This Port was fortified from special “port style” spirits, made exclusively for Williams Selyem by the alembic stills of Hubert Germain-Robin of Alambic, Inc. in Ukiah, California. This Port was aged in neutral François Frères oak barrels and only 3 barrels were produced.
