Wine Review: This wine has a bit of a funky nose. On the palate, the wine is light and fruity. It is smooth and a bit acidic. A tasty wine. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Like the highly regarded 2001and 2002, the 2003 is pleasantly drinkable, yet, "a little different". Bright, ruby color with a nose of cherry, raspberry and spices. Round, medium body with violet, black pepper and a hint of cloves in the palate. Soft finish complemented by smooth tannins. Pairs well with charcuterie, grilled meats and young cheeses.
