The Rafiki Collection: A spectacular assortment from a meticulous NJ collector. Picture perfect wines from an ice-cold wine cellar on the estate.
“A dark plum/garnet color reveals a pinkish lightening at the edge, and the bouquet reveals plenty of smoke, camphor, charcoal, graphite, sweet kirsch and blacker fruit aromas intermixed with meaty, sauteed mushroom, cedar and spicy notes. The lovely aromatics are followed by flavors that do not quite match the intensity of the bouquet, a sign of a fully mature wine. This medium-bodied effort has plenty of glycerin, low acidity and not a trace of tannin. While not terribly generous, it is a soft, round, charming, delicious, very good La Mission...” (92 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #202, Aug. 2012)
"A complex, smoky, earthy nose, with a bit of camphor intermixed with jammy black currants and melted road tar is followed by a medium-bodied, very soft, low-acid wine that is loosely knit, very fleshy, and fully mature." (91 pts. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Ed., Jan. 2003)
