The 2002 vintage was characterized by warm dry weather patterns. The warm days along with lower yields produced wines with great extract. The 2002 Dillian exhibits ripe berry and plum jammy aromas, with integrated pepper and spice. There is a burst of red cherry and vanilla flavors on the palette, and sweet round tannins that coat the mouth for a long finish. The wine once again expresses the balance and concentration of ripe fruit and elegant tannins that the old vine Dillian Zinfandel fruit creates!  Released: February 1, 2004.
