Tasting Notes:
The 2003 Pinot Noir has benefited from the traditional Burgundian techniques and minimal handling. The wine displays aromas of ripe cherries and plums with flavors of tobacco and spice, firm tannins and a rich and silky smooth texture. This is a wine that will develop wonderfully with time in the bottle.
