Reviewed October 1999Blackberry fruit, loads of earthy notes, with tar and licorice accents. Very deep. Complex, with very dark fruit. Gamy, with licorice and black-tea flavors. Good mouthfeel, long full finish, and a unique personality.

Another Selleck with tons of savory, umami tones. Turned earth, meaty notes, camphor, cedar. Powerful structure, tons of terroir driven character. Awesome wine.
Notes
Planted in 1975 and situated with a southeastern exposure at 2,200 feet in elevation but still in the direct path of cooling winds from the Pacific, the 4.8-acre Selleck vineyard is composed of rocky soils that feature a mix of decomposed granite and limestone outcroppings. It enjoys a bit more sun exposure than the other sites, yielding wines of deep flavor, intensity, and structural refinement.
