VINTAGE2003 was an ideal growing season. Spring conditions led to an even bud break and the absence of rain made for a beautiful fruit set. Summer temperatures were above average and rainfall was below average, resulting in very even and predictable ripening. Very warm September temperatures led to full ripe flavors in the fruit.WINEMAKINGThe 2003 Estate Grown Syrah was harvested at 25.8 Brix and gently crushed into open top stainless steel fermentation tanks. The skins and juice were allowed to cold soak for a number of days prior to the addition of cultured yeast. This process creates darker colors and enhances the ripeness of flavors. After fermentation was completed, the finished wine was drawn off and the skins were pressed. 100% of the vintage was aged in small oak barrels, the majority being from French forests, for 22 months. French oak seems to bring out the spice and dark chocolate in our Syrah. Gentle racking of the barrels allowed for the removal of solids without filtration. WINEMAKER COMMENTSAged in small French oak barrels our Syrah shows great varietal expression laced with layers of rich cassis, dark chocolate and pepper. Our Syrah is smooth on the palate with a long-lasting finish. A great glass of wine by itself, Gordon Brothers Syrah can be paired with roasted lamb or spicy Asian cuisine.

| O Winnicy | "In 1980, Jeff Gordon, along with his wife, Vicki and brother Bill decided to plant wine grapes on a sagebrushcovered slope overlooking the Snake River in southeastern Washingtons Columbia Valley.In 1985, he released his first small lot of Chardonnay wine produced from their estate vines, and today the Gordon Brothers brand is growing in both production and acclaim. Before planting the vineyard, Jeff sought out the expertise of Walt Clore, the Father of Washington Wine. Together the two inspected a 200-acre parcel of sagebrush-covered land near the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Walt strongly approved of the land that would soon become Gordon Brothers.At the time the vineyard was planted, there were 19 wineries in Washington and less than 5,000 acres of winegrapes in production. Jeff and Vicki quickly fell in love with the camaraderie of the small, but remarkably supportive winemaking community. Now, the Washington wine industry has grown to over 300 wineries and 30,000+ acres of winegrapes, but the Washington industry still maintains its solidarity. Along the way, there have beena few changes. In 1998, Jeffs brother Bill retired. That same year a new wine production facility was built on the vineyard that greatly centralized all aspects of the winemaking process. In 2001, Jeffs daughter and sonin- law, Katie and Marc Nelson, joined the family business. Marc manages the organic cherries and apples, and is learning the craft of managing the vineyard. Katie helps with marketing and brand development." |
