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:
Dense, complex aromas of toasty oak enrich this flavorful, well-balanced wine. Great depth of garnet hues introduce this wine that finishes with a long, smooth, full-bodied taste.
A great complement with roasts of pork and beef and other hearty dishes.
