Tasting Notes
This famous wine is rich and full-bodied with intense cassis and dark cherry flavors. Named for the Bobcat that roams the hills of Sonoma County, this very limited Zinfandel is not for the faint of heart.
2005 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 concentration 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.
