Description: 2002 | 2001 | 2000 |1999 1998 | 1997 | 1996 | 1995 | 1994 | 1992-1993 2003 PINOT NOIR The 2003 growing season was warm and dry with very little rainfall through the end of summer. The nice weather continued through harvest with daily high temperatures in the mid-70's still occurring in the last week of October. Wines from this vintage are nicely colored with concentrated ripe fruit flavors and aromas. Our 2003 Pinot Noir echoes the style of previous vintages, by virtue of the gentle techniques we continue to employ in the cellar. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts propagated from cellars in Burgundy, pressed during the last days of fermentation, and racked as soon as the wine finished malolactic fermentation. Just a touch of barrel-aged wine was included in the blend to round out the flavors and enhance complexity
