Winemakers Notes

Another excellent vintage from our vineyards near Mt.Harlan. Ripened aromas of cherry, raspberry, cola, green tea, mocha and spice dominate the nose. This wine shows richer and broader tannins than the 2002 version, with better overall concentration and depth of fruit. A long sweet cherry and toasty oak finish complete this wine. 14.0% 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.
