Winemakers Notes

Extremely concentrated flavors of raspberry, cassis, mocha and sassafras explode in your mouth. The aromas are similar, but with a high toned perfumed edge to them. Big rich mouth coating tannins give way to a long jammy finish that is clean, balanced and refreshing. 16.2% alcohol

Harvest Notes

Challenging weather during the 2003 growing season resulted in lighter than normal berry development. However lower yields, coupled with moderate temperatures, allowed for even ripening with good sugar, pH and acidity. Although Mother Nature provided us with a less than bountiful harvest, we are very pleased with the resulting wines. The grapes for this wine were harvested at an average of 25.4 Brix in late October.
