The last 2003 Pinot Noir to be released, the Cahill Lane boasts a dark ruby/purple color as well as a sumptuous perfume of blueberries, cherries, briery mountain berries, spice box, forest floor, and oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years. Kudos to Stephen Hansel for keeping prices so realistic.
