  Well constructed wine. Some buttery fruit upon opening. That blew off over next two hours with red fruit and plums with cinnamon on long finish. Great Christmas pairing with filet mignon.

  Not sure who would put an 85 on this wine but they either have a corked bottle, or they have Covid and lost their sense of taste and smell. This is a beautifully crafted wine so typical of winemaker Billo at Rasa. I wanted to see how it was progressing so took out this 2016. It makes me excited for the older vintages I am sitting on.

  The overall impression of the 2016 Perfect Union is the unique combination of ripeness, power, and harmony. This wine is a perfect pairing for a ribeye with truffle butter! Vibrant deep ruby-purple in color with complex aromatics of cassis, gravel, pencil lead, smoldering incense, eucalyptus, cedar, tobacco, and dried sage. The wine is full bodied with high flavor density, crisp acidity, and sinewy tannins. The palate is simply stunning: cassis, ripe blackberry, ripe blueberry, dried sage, mint, espresso, lead pencil, aged cigar tobacco, leather, and gravel. Properly cellared, this wine should reach maturity in 10-12 years and will gracefully evolve for 20+ years.
