The 2008 Petit Caus Negre is a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark ruby in color, it gives off aromas of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. This leads to a supple-textured, slightly tart, but pleasant wine that is meant for near-term drinking.
Carlos Esteva is the man behind the remarkable white wines that emerge from Can Rafols dels Caus.
