The 2003 vintage provided us with fantastic fruit across the board, especially Bordeaux varieties. Our Vallerga Cabernet reached flavor and phenolic development at much lower sugars than in past vintages. Accordingly, the finished wine is lower in alcohol than its predecessors.
We have been fortunate to purchase fruit from the Vallerga family for nearly fifteen years. Located at the base of Mt. Veeder in the Yountville AVA, the vineyard stretches from the alluvial benchlands up to the foothills. The sparse gravelly soils and moderate climate produce wines marked by dark fruit flavors, cassis and intense minerality.
We hand harvest in the early morning to ensure cool grapes. The fruit was immediately de-stemmed and placed in open top bins for cold-soak and fermentation. The wine was aged in a combination of new American (12%) and used French barrels for 22 months to allow for tannin and pigment development.
Our 2003 Vallerga is packed with cassis, loam and dark berry fruit. Two years of bottle age have softened the wine’s youthful tannins and fleshed out the mid-palate and finish. While this Cabernet is powerful and plush, it also is blessed with a firm structure, fine tannins and great balance. ONLY 843 CASES PRODUCED
