Tasting Notes
The Selby Malbec has the classic flavors of this famous varietal including cherry, plum, chocolate and a hint of leather. This wine shows a sensational, rounded, sweet perfumed nose, with creamy black-currant fruit.

Alexander Valley |
“Aged in oak for eighteen months in the finest French oak barrels, this Bordeaux varietal is smooth and deep and dark with rich, spicy, complex boysenberry and rasberry flavors. The aromatic is mint chocolate - the finish deliciously divine! A medium bodied wine that is terrific on its own or fabulous with crispy thin pizzas and anything off the grill.”
- Susie Selby
