Wine Info

Winemaker's Notes
The color is a rich ruby red. In the aroma you will be greeted by waves of ripe red and black fruits. Your palate will be lead through flavors of ripe cherries, blackberry, raspberry, currants, licorice, leather and spice. As you explore the velvety texture of this wine, from explosive first sip to deliberately lingering finish, you will realize that this is truly something special.

Vintage
The 2002 growing season was outstanding! Great fruit was harvested from most of Washington's vineyards. The better estates were rewarded with superb fruit. Once again the weather for growing grapes was optimal. This enabled those vineyards which focus on quality rather than quantity to produce exceptional fruit, which in turn produce wines of exceptional quality.
