$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Taken from our top old clone vineyard block that tends to ripen later in the season, 2003 harvest conditions provided an opportunity to create a special vintage of Windsor Oaks’ first late harvest Estate wine. The old clone grapes were given extra weeks on the vines to achieve intense character and high sugar levels. Careful hand harvesting and sorting both in the field and at the press provided superb fruit. Extended cold soaking before fermentation further extracted the deep color and rich fruit flavors and aromas.
It is with great pride that we offer the result, a deep garnet colored, full bodied dessert wine that evokes the long ripened fruit of late summer sun-drenched hillside vines.
With a slight hint of caramel oak and figs, its aroma may remind you of vintage port, but the flavor and finish are cleaner and less cloying to the palate, with lower alcohol levels. The mouthfeel is rich, concentrated and chewy, with dark berry jam flavors, finishing with a burst of red licorice, plum and dried apricot.
