Rasa Fianchetto
Rasa has created an absolutely massive XL Vineyard Bordeaux blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Cabernet Franc and 22% Merlot. The wine begins heady aromas of mocha, black cherry and anise. This leads to flavors of blackberry jam, coffee grounds, creme de cassis, anise and done in the hugely modern style. The texture of this wine is ethereal. This is intense Cabernet, showing moderate to heavy tannins at this point that settle after three hours of decanting. The purity of fruit is exceptional here.
