Product Description
JD98+ "The 2018 Rapszodia (100% Cabernet Franc) is up with the finest expressions of this variety in the world, offing a dense purple hue as well as stunning notes of blackcurrants, dark chocolate, spring flowers, and scorched earth. More exotic violet and orange blossom notes develop with time in the glass, and it’s full-bodied and as seamless as they come. I’d happily drink bottles today, but it’s going to improve over the short-term and have 20-25 years of prime drinking. " JD Jan 2021
RP98 "The 2018 Rapszodia is made from 100% Cabernet Franc. Planted in 2002, this block of vines is located right across from the Block 1 Merlot, closer to the river, composed mainly of heavy clay. The wine was aged in French oak, 86% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it prances out of the glass with the most gorgeous perfume of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries and fresh black berries with hints of crushed rocks, tilled soil, violets and cinnamon plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with an amazing backbone of freshness supporting all that tightly wound, multilayered fruits, it finishes with epically long mineral and floral layers. Wow-o-wow. 160 cases were made." LPB for TWA Nov 2020
"2018 was the first year where the phenolics were ahead of the sugar," consulting winemaker Tony Arcudi mentioned during my tasting at the property. "That made for a beautiful vintage!"
