This wine is truly stunning and continues to prove the merit and integrity of the Aida Vineyard.  In 2000 when Chuck and Philippe set out to find a vineyard to compliment the already established Vineyard 29 home vineyard, Aida seemed the perfect fit.  It’s gravely Châteauneuf-du-Pape like soils presented budding potential and brilliant promise.  Seven years later, this site has exceeded our expectations and continues to excite and impress us with wines of exquisite stature and elegance.

The powerful, yet graceful 2003 Aida Red Wine is no exception. Beautiful aromas of blackberries and licorice are surrounded by caramel and toffee while exotic spice and licorice carry through the mid-palate and lead to a rich, generous finish. Enjoy now through 2022.
