WHY WE LOVE IT
Rasa Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 3 vineyards in the Columbia Valley.
Occam’s Razor Cabernet Sauvignon offers an exceptional quality to price ratio.
This is a compelling wine. Drinks well now but will improve over the next 7-9 years.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Elaboration: The wine had a pre-fermentation maceration average of 106 hours and a post-fermentation maceration average of 83 hours. 100% native fermentation. The wine was punched down by hand 2 times each day during macerations and fermentation. All individual wine components, including free run and press fractions, were kept separate until final blending.
The oak profile is 20% new French oak (predominantly from Troncais and Alliers) and 80% neutral French oak.
Tasting Notes: Compelling bouquet of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, spice nuances, vanilla, and espresso. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins and well delineated notes of blackberry, cassis, black cherry, vanilla, cigar tobacco, dark chocolate, and cedar. The wine is deftly balanced between the fruit extract, refreshing acidity, and moderately grippy tannins which leads to a long finish.
