RAKA WINE Quinary 2016
Now and again I have to fall back on an old favorite. I’ve been a fan of Raka for years. Decades actually, if I can get away with saying that and not giving my age away. Or throwing it away. I was introduced to Raka years ago when I was a wine newbie and it’s always been up there on my list of cellar staples.
Quinary is a blend of Cab Sav, Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec and seasoned with Petit Verdot.
It’s heavy on the nose, strong aromas of old berries. Left to breathe for about half an hour the flavor matures quickly from an initial overbearing acidity to something silky and delicious.
