The 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was created as a blend of several premier vineyards located in diverse microclimates around the valley with the majority of the fruit coming from local hillside or mountain vineyards. Overall production increased significantly this year due to the acquisition of newer vineyard sources coupled with a growing demand for the wine.

"Our 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows deep, rich fruit notes. Hints of spicy oak and vanilla complement the concentrated aromas of blackberry jam, chocolate, and cassis. On the palate, the flavors are bold, full-bodied, and intense, yet the wine maintains balance, richness and an elegant finish. This wine will continue to develop richness, depth and complexity with additional time in the bottle and should drink exceptionally well for the next 10-15 years." Richard Batchelor, Winemaker
