2007 Rasa Vineyards QED

This estates first release and a mix of 94% Syrah, 3% Grenache and 3% Mourvèdre, the 2007 Rasa Vineyards QED is much more full, and ripe on the nose with decadent cassis and blackberry fruit, roasted meat, truffle, licorice and roasted herb aromatics. These lead into a full bodied, powerful wine that carries fresh acidity, a brilliant, seamless texture, perfect balance and long, quality finish. While I think the ’08 might age longer, this should still drink beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years.
