Winemaker's Notes Roth Cabernet Sauvignon is an expression of its origins. The 2003 vintage delivers aromas of vanilla, clove and anise, with flavors of rich black cherry, plum and licorice. This powerful, fruit-forward wine displays mouth-watering complexity, firm tannins and a rich, elegant finish. After 19 months of aging in French oak barrels (30% new), we bottled this wine unfiltered for purity of expression. 5,300 cases produced.
