The medium ruby-colored 2000 Caus Lubis is 100% Merlot aged for 12 months in French oak. It emits an enticing, complex bouquet of cedar, tobacco, spice box, incense, and black currant. Elegant, sweetly-fruited, and concentrated, it has enough structure to drink well through 2020.
Can Rafols dels Caus is located in the Garraf Massif which forms part of the Catalan coastal mountain range making this a Mediterranean-influenced terroir. The estate covers 450 hectares and is owned and run by the brilliant Carlos Esteva. These are wines that reflect the unique perspective of Carlos Esteva and are worth a search of the marketplace.
