2003 Schug Carneros Estate Pinot Noir, Carneros Heritage Reserve - 1 Three Liter Bottle

2003 represents the winery's finest vintage for Pinot Noir to date. The maturity of their vineyards as well as several growers they have added over the years has given the winery an even broader spectrum of individual lots to choose from, for making their top blend.

A spicy bouquet of roses and cherries greets the nose, with flavors of black cherry, tangy cranberry and brown spices to follow. The long spicy finish is accented by a hint of toasty oak from 16 months aging in French oak barrels. We anticipate this wine will continue to age gracefully in the cellar for up to 10 years.
