This producer rarely does wrong, even in a blistering vintage as this one. Not nearly as compact and heat-stressed as I expected.

Absolutely delicious. The 2003 vintage for me is showing up. The testament that I like to preach is that although a difficult vintage is presented to you in the vineyard, one can still craft a great wine. #timetraveling

How is this 03 so good? Black pepper, violets, brush. Lifted, pretty, red fruit aromas. Startlingly elegant.

2003. One word: Extraordinary! Rayas simply produces nothing but spell binding wines.

Earthy, spicy with a bit of fire given the high alcohol. Just enough to surprise but not enough to bother.
