2003 Bobcat Zinfandel

Tasting Notes

This is the most famous and popular of the wines made by Selby.  Rich and bold dark cherry fruit with hints of pepper, anise and nutmeg.

2006 Selby "Bobcat" Zinfandel

Sonoma County


“Bobcat Zinfandel is not made in the traditional
winemaking style. The grapes are picked at
maximum sugar levels to attain the most extreme
concentratison possible. Rich flavors, a hint of
sweetness and high alcohol content makes this
the most intense wine from Selby. Are you
surprised it is the most popular? Savor the
flavor of the elusive Bobcat before he is gone for
another year."
