Leading off the bottled wines, the 2016 Rasteau is up with the finest vintages to date from this cuvée. Offering medium to full-bodied richness, classic notes of dark fruits, pepper, and damp earthy/clay soils, terrific balance, and sweet tannins, drink it over the coming 6-7 years.

Features a solid streak of raspberry and red currant coulis flavors running through, with light lavender, anise and singed balsam wood notes filling in through the finish. Drink now through 2020. 4,500 cases made, 1,100 cases imported.
