Winemaker's Notes:

VINEYARD NOTES With a cool beginning to the 2003 growing season, a warm spell in late spring encouraged normal bud break and flowering in the Cabernet vineyards throughout Napa Valley. As temperatures warmed towards the end of summer, eight to ten very warm days in September helped move the grapes to full maturity at harvest. This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is made from fruit grown on the valley floor throughout Napa Valley and represents distinct growing regions from southern Napa to St. Helena. The addition of Cabernet Franc creates structure in the wine while a touch of Merlot adds length to the mid-palate and a layer of fruit aromatics on the nose. Aged 18 months in 66 percent new French oak, the lots were aged separately until blended before bottling. WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS Red cherry, rhubarb and spice aromas are the introduction to this elegant wine as flavors of raspberry, cherry and rhubarb pie co-mingle with anise, clove and hints of cocoa powder on the palate. Soft tannins carry this well-balanced Cabernet to a lengthy and flavorful finish. VARIETAL CONTENT 93% Cabernet Sauvignon 4% Cabernet Franc 3% Merlot HARVEST Appellation: Napa Valley
