Ledgewood Creek 2003 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
$16.00 -- Napa ValleyPurchase Ledgewood Creek 2003 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage Notes:
The 2003 vintage year was a challenging year for winegrowers in Northern California. Unseasonal late rains in Spring affected bloom and crop levels on some varieties. And above normal Summer temperatures required close watch of vineyard irrigation. A mid-August rain precipitated mildew in some regions, then a heat spell later in the month suddenly brought grapes to maturity. All in all, the weather conditions made for a roller-coaster vintage.
The Suisun Valley experienced warm temperatures but was spared the late rains. The harvest progressed normally, and although yields were lighter than normal, quality was considered excellent.
Winemaker Tasting Notes:
The 2003 release of Ledgewood Creek Cabernet Sauvignon blends grapes grown in the Wooden Valley area of Napa Valley and from our own estate vineyard in Suisun Valley. Rich, dark fruit and woody aromas complement the black cherry and cedar flavors that permeate this wine.
A great wine to complement steaks, chops and full-flavored dishes.
