Winemakers Notes

Much like the 2002 version, it is primarily made from our estate chardonnay vineyard. The ripe Gravenstein apples, Asian pears, toasted vanilla bean and citrus blossom dominate the aromas of this blend. Nice toasty oak, spice, juicy Gravenstein apples, peaches, minerals and roasted almonds linger on the palate. The follow through in the mouth is rich, creamy and concentrated with a fresh apple/citrusy finish. 14.6% 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.
