Woodward Canyon Estate Red 2003 Reviews:  

Wine Advocate

The 2003 Estate Red Wine is composed of 44% Cabernet Franc, 41% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Petit Verdot. It was fermented with native yeasts and was aged in 100% new oak. The product of the warmest vintage on record for Walla Walla, the wine is dark ruby-colored and offers up an excellent nose of toasty black currants, blackberry, spice box, and fresh herbs. This is followed by a firm, layered, well-balanced wine which is built to last. There is moderate, ripe tannin leading to a long, pure finish. Give this Saint-Emilion look-alike 5-7 years of additional bottle age and drink it through 2035.

Score: 92. —Jay Miller, August 2007.

Wine Spectator

Firm in texture, focused in flavor, with enticing aromatics of smoke and roasted cherry, delivering a concentrated mouthful of spicy cherry and dried tomato flavors that manage to persist without being heavy. Tannins are well-integrated. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2008 through 2013.

Score: 90. —Harvey Steiman, June 15, 2006.
