Selby Chardonnay

Tasting Notes


This wine is from California's most prestigious region for Burgundy varietals, the Russian River Valley. The grapes from Hedin Vineyard offer notes of apricots and figs. The Cornerstone Vineyards' Dijon Clone delivers floral aromas and flavors. The Lazy W Vineyard imparts tropical characteristics. The result is an intense, full-bodied wine with excellent structure.

2006 Selby Chardonnay

Russian River


“ My favorite white wine is Chardonnay. I feel fortunate to make our Chardonnay with grapes from the best vineyards in Sonoma County - just one of the reasons it is award-winning. If you love supple, ripe, elegant Chardonnay imbued with subtle notes of toasty oak, this one is outstanding. ”

- Susie Selby
