TASTING NOTE: A big, rich, black cherry, crushed rock and dried herb-driven cuvée, the 2014 Rasteau has surprising levels of sweet fruit, full-bodied richness and a balanced, clean finish. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years and is an undoubted success in this difficult vintage. Drink Date: 2016-2023. Score - 91 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) Price $ 19.95
