NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Rafael et Fils Cabernet Sauvignon greets the senses with a deep, opulent ruby hue, setting the stage for its intensity and richness.The nose is enveloped in a luxurious bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and black cherry, intertwined with nuances of sweet spices, tobacco leaf, and a hint of vanilla. The palate experiences a harmonious blend of lush, ripe dark fruits, velvety tannins, and a seamless integration of oak, creating a full-bodied and well-balanced profile. The lingering finish resonates with flavors of dark berries, subtle earthiness, and a touch of sweet spice. This elegant Cabernet is a delightful companion to grilled red meats, hearty stews, or rich, savory cheeses, promising a journey through the refined and robust landscapes of Napa Valley.
