TASTING NOTES

"Our 2003 Heritage Cuvée is a classic Rhône-style blend of Grenache (45%), Syrah (33%), Mourvèdre (18%) and Cinsaut (4%) from our estate vineyards and Vogelzang Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. It begins with complex aromas of black fruits, sandalwood and spice. Vivid flavors of black cherry and blackberry unfold with accents of vanilla and tobacco. The texture is broad and balanced, with finely integrated tannins at the finish."

CURTIS HERITAGE SERIES

Inspired by the pleasurable table wines of the southern Rhône Valley, Winemaker Chuck Carlson established our Heritage Series to offer unique, flavorful cuvées for everyday enjoyment. These wines hail from small vineyards along California's Central Coast, where Rhône varietals excel amid the coastal Mediterranean climate. After aging, the individual lots are blended with an emphasis on approachability and complexity. Curtis Heritage Series wines are widely acclaimed for offering exceptional value and quality.
