DETAILS

2003, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were grown on our Odyssey Vineyard, 1350 feet above the valley floor. The grapes were harvested on October 28th and 29th at 24.8 brix, destemmed and cold-macerated for 72 hours, and then fermented on the skins for 26 days. The Cabernet was then aged in a combination of French Nevers Oak 40%, Hungarian Oak 40% and American Oak 20% for 20 months. The Cabernet Sauvignon 87% was then blended with 6% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The bouquet is typical of our hillside fruit: intense, with notes of black cherry and leather. The blend of oak adds the spices of nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate this wine is lush and soft, yet features a firm backbone, which will give it good longevity. The leather and black cherry carry through on the palate.
