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.
