Roth 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5 L

Winemaker's Notes:
Roth Cabernet Sauvignon is an expression of its origins. The 2003 vintage delivers aromas of vanilla, clove and anise, with flavors of rich black cherry, plum and licorice. This powerful, fruitforward wine displays mouth-watering complexity, firm tannins and a rich, elegant finish. After 19 months of aging in French oak barrels (30% new), we bottled this wine unfiltered for purity of expression. 5,300 cases produced.

A Note About the Winery:
Roth is a family owned producer, dedicated to crafting Cabernet Sauvignon that is ref lective of its origins. Each vintage is made from select vineyard sites within the southern most tip of the Alexander Valley AVA. This “sub-appellation’s” abundant hillsides, diverse elevations, aspects and slopes provide a wide range of micro-climates from which Cabernet Sauvignons of intensity and concentrated varietal character are produced.

Vintage Notes:
A warm, long growing season led to consistent concentration in varietal maturity. Overall, this vintage gave us high quality fruit with dense tannins and firm acidity. Harvest lasted from September 18 through October 29.
