Sometimes the best wines are a direct result of who’s behind them. Marc Rafael defines that statement in his 2013 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Infectiously passionate, spirited and an all-around nice guy, Marc is of German descent but was born in New York, then raised in France.  In the 1970s Marc’s family purchased 50 acres located in Napa Valley’s prized Oak Knoll district, shadowing the Mayacamas Mountain range, and perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. With a micro-climate cooler than the neighboring Yountville AVA, Marc is producing one of the best representations of Bordeaux style Napa Valley Cabernet that I’ve ever tasted in this price range.

2013 RAFAEL et FILS "ESTATE" CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY
Winery Notes: "The wine is an inky ruby purple in color. Classic aromas of blackberry, cedar, black currant and licorice are initially expressed. With time in the glass, complex notes of blueberry, dark chocolate, plum, black tea and cherry are also revealed. The wine has a rich, elegant structure that allows it to be enjoyed on its own or with food. The experience is capped off by rich, smooth long finish. Additional layers of complexity and richness will be revealed over multiple days. The wine will age gracefully for 15-20 years."
