Description:
2003 was another very warm vintage in Washington State, much like ’98, ’00, ’01
and ’02. July and August were hot, and we anticipated an unusually early harvest.
Fortunately the weather cooled off in mid-September, allowing for more extended
hang time. The wines from this vintage will be lush and fruit-forward with slightly
higher alcohols, balanced by greater fruit intensity, tannins and excellent acidity.

Varietal Definition
Roussanne:
Also known as Bergeron in the french Savoie region. Semi-classic grape grown in the Hermitage-Rhone and southern Cotes du Rhone region of France. Still occasionally incorporated into white wine blends, (e.g: with the Marsanne grape wine), because of its acidity and aroma but finding less and less favor.
