Producer Notes

2002 Numbers/Letters: Still very young, fresh and lively, with plenty of sweet and sour cherry notes intermixed with blacker currants, pepper, forest floor, spice box and some toasty oak, this wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, rich, still quite young, and seems very backward and a different style of Grenache than anything produced in the vintages that followed. I would forget this wine for at least another 2-3 years and drink it over the following decade. It is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
