2004 Merlot
Malibu-Newton Canyon
Low-yield hillside fruit contributes to a richness and complexity not seen in “standard” Merlots. A full yet supple wine, with hints of black cherry, plum, mocha, exotic spices ...more, and a kiss of oak. Bright berry fruit, elegant mid-palate, and a lingering finish, with refined, well-integrated tannins.

| Parry Cellars |
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena
Parry Cellars 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant cabernet. It has a beautiful ruby color with aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry and well integrated oak with faint no ...moretes of cardamom, white pepper and truffle oil. In the mouth, the supple, sweet entry opens up into a mid-palate laced with an excellent balance of tannins and berry fruit. The finish lingers with wonderful blackberry and cocoa notes. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% French oak barrels (44% new / 56% once-used) and was bottled without fining and filtration to preserve the true beauty of our fruit. It pairs well with beef short ribs, a barbequed flatiron or roast pork tenderloin. We are sure you will enjoy this wine now or after bottle aging for a few years.

This is our tribute to you! 59% Syrah / 41% Cabernet Sauvignon The dark jammmy cherry and meaty notes of the Syrah paired with the black currant, mild green chili, and tobacco from the Cabernet Sauvignon really hits the spot.

2004 SAGE
Paso Robles
This Bordeaux blend is unique! A blend of 50% Malbec/50% Petit Verdot, most wineries wouldn’t dare put these two varietals together without some percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon ...moreor Merlot because of the high tannic structure. But we thought differently. Hints of raisins, plum, and tobacco from the Malbec paired with blackcurrants and the lovely scent of violets from the Petit Verdot make this wine both great to drink now or in 15 years.

Compare its “Nose” to Viognier or Marsanne, with a gentler spice than a dry Gewürztraminer and far, far, more fruit than the best Pinot Gris could hope for!

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Blend "Miradero"
Sonoma Valley
With the release of this 2003 vintage, Miradero has evolved from the Merlot dominated model of the legendary 2001 (voted Best California Merlot-CA State Fair) to a more “Medoc” ...more style wine with a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. This classic Bordeaux blend combines the best of both old world and new. With a hefty 36% Merlot component, Miradero owes as much to the traditions and heritage of the Right Bank, such as St. Emilion, as it does to the more Cabernet-centric Left Bank but the rich black fruit and ripe, plush tannins speak of the climate and terroir of Sonoma.
The wine opens invitingly with a deep ruby color and aromas of summer blackberries with hints of vanillin and dark roasted espresso beans. Ample body in the mouth is supported by fine-grained, well integrated tannins while the flavors follow through with a dark fruit, black cherry and berry theme accented by notes of bittersweet cocoa and sweet spice and a long, lingering, harmonious finish.
While the fruit-forward ripeness and well-filled texture of this wine might lead to enjoyment this very evening, the richness and refined tannin structure would allow an additional 5-7 years of evolution in the
