As I’ve mentioned before, we have come to love really good wine.  This bottle was a gift from my mother for my talented husband celebrating a new job.  Costing about $43-$45 a bottle, it is well worth it and might have just become one of our new favorites.

When my mom bought the bottle she was told “you really can’t go wrong with many 2003 choices as it was a great year”.  We could not agree more!  There were hints of vanilla, orange and blackberries.  I’ve read reviews that stated it tastes “dry and warm”.  I happen to love it when bold red wines taste dry and warm.  We enjoyed this bottle with beautifully cooked rare steak and grilled vegetables as we sat outside on our patio.
