$28.00 per bottle
Description:
Rich, round and deep, the 2003 OMV has the ‘berry pie thing’ of the 1993, but it also has additional texture and sweet earthiness from its increased time on the lees before the first racking, similar the 1999. Both of these older vintages are aging and developing well, and this should be no exception, yet I think the 2003 is beginning a bit rounder and fuller than either of those vintages at a similar stage. Since 1997, there has been a blueberry note in our OMV’s, and I think it has something to do with the more ‘reductive’ aging regime we have gravitated toward since then. I like the complex interplay between the wide range of fruit characters and our winemaking choices that we see in these long-aging wines. I know of no Zinfandels like these.
