In 2003, fruit from Herb Lamb was the last fruit brought into the winery and the prolonged maturation resulted in a unique aromatic profile. A vibrant clarity of aromatics of black cherries and raspberries lead to earthy notes. The palate moves to exotic spices and cured meats with pure richness framed by ripe, supple tannins and a fine acid structure.

The unpredictable nature of the 2003 growing season began with a series of heat events in March, proceeded by a wet April. A long, cool summer allowed a beautiful evolution of flavor in the fruit, ahead of sugar accumulation. Heat returned in September, spurring harvest forward after many expected a late year. The 2003 vintage emerged with tremendous character and longevity after several challenges.
