Rasa Vineyards was started by two brothers Pinto and Billo Naravane in 2009, when they made their first two wines QED and Principia Reserve Syrah. These wines received 94 points and 97 points respectively and a dream turned into a reality. Over the next 16 years they have continued to refine and develop more wines all with stories and showcasing a particular place and varietal. Their Occams Razor red is one of our best sellers.
QED stands for Quod Erat Demonstrandum – Latin for “which was to be demonstrated.” At the end of a mathematical proof, you typically write QED. It basically means “I’m done; I’ve proven what I set out to prove.”
Deep purple color with intense aromatics of cassis, violets, huckleberry, dried sage, dark chocolate, and espresso. On the palate the texture is rich and supple, framed with crisp acidity. Notes of blackberry, black plum, rose petal, cassis, violets, sage, espresso, and dark chocolate. The finish is elegantly long with notes of cassis and violets. This is a beautifully crafted, elegant style of Cabernet Franc. It should be at its best in 7-9 years and will hold for 12+ years.
