WINE DESCRIPTION

Y. Rousseau Son of a Butcher is an easy drinking red wine produced by Yannick Rousseau, a renowned winemaker from Napa Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the prestigious Coombsville appellation, known for its unique terroir and cool climate. The vineyard features volcanic soils and is situated at an elevation of 400 feet, which contributes to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by soft tannins and a long finish. Y. Rousseau Son of a Butcher is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality Napa Valley Cabernet.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied, robust, but soft red blend is a testament to the skill of the winemaker.Aromas of dark cherry, plum, and blackberry are complemented by notes of clove, leather, and cedar. The palate is ripe and juicy, with a bright acidity that leads to a long, earthy finish. An excellent pairing for grilled meats or hard cheeses.
