Vineyards:
Our 2003 Rubáiyat is a blend of 77% Pinot Noir, 12% Syrah and 11% Zinfandel from vineyards in Napa Valley (85%), Red Hills in Lake County (11%) and Anderson Valley in Mendocino County (4%). The Napa vineyards, in the cooler southern part of the county, supplied most of the Pinot Noir and all the Syrah grapes, while the Lake County vineyards provided the Zinfandel, and the cool-climate Anderson Valley the rest of the Pinot Noir. All the fruit was hand-harvested between September 2nd and October 22nd to ensure an ideal balance of ripe fruit flavors and fresh acidity.
