2003 Mataro Pato Vineyard - Members Only

2003 Mataro Pato Vineyard
bottled December 2004

These old mataro vines on the warm Sacramento River delta set a small crop in 2003. This year, we included none of the vineyard's zinfandel, choosing instead to add a small percentage of petite sirah for additional structure. After a natural-yeast fermentation in small submerged-cap fermentors and a long natural malo-lactic in well-tempered american oak barrels, the earthy, spicy character of the varietal dominates. Forward fruit and beautiful balance make this an immediately-enjoyable quaffing wine. It will be at its best over the next three years. EB/PD (8/04)
