Rasa Vineyards Living in the Limelight 2012

Description

The 2012 Living in the Limelight is 100% Petit Verdot from the Dionysus Vineyard in the Columbia Valley AVA. Perfumed, complex and lively, with ample currants, plum, licorice, mint and crushed rock-like minerality, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, awesome freshness and sweet tannin that emerges on the finish. Nothing is out of place here, it's perfectly balanced and has rock star length. Give it another handful of years in the cellar and enjoy it over the following decade or longer. When all is said and done, I wouldn't be surprised to see this still going strong at age 20 or beyond. Score - 94. (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, June 2014)
