San Leonardo 2003

An extremely hot and dry year. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenère, 10% Merlot. Matured in French oak barriques that are both new and used two and three times. A ruby-garnet color. The aroma is ethereal, wrapping and rich, with hints of maraschino cherry offering an alcoholic sensation, notes of prune and humus. A full, bold and soft mouthfeel with slightly aggressive and thick tannins. A warm finish with an average persistence.

Bottles produced: 52,246; 3,000 half bottles; 2,970 magnums; and 200 double magnums.
