2000 Shiraz
Napa Valley
The 2000 vintage began early with budbreak occurring in the third week of March. Rapid vine growth gave an indication of an early harvest, with the vines flowering by the third week of May in favorable conditions. Severe heat in mid June caused some newly set berries to desiccate, thus reducing the crop. Ideal weather from the end of June through September ensured full flavor and tannin development. Our 2000 Shiraz shows what the perfect balance of intense sunlight, warm days and cool nights contributes to the intensity of this noble grape. The wine displays a blackish red color with lifted aromas of blackberries, plums and licorice. On the palate the flavors of wild cherries and sweet vanilla are wrapped in supple tannins for a mouth filling wine. While these soft tannins allow for immediate enjoyment, proper cellaring will reward with increasing complexity over the next 4 to 10 years.
