Welcome back to the table, Libration. The 2018 vintage, a fruit forward cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, has verve with bright fruit notes of boysenberry, tart plum, cherry and cranberry aromas… testament to the vibrancy of its youth. Savory herbs like thyme, sage and bay leaf lend themselves to an earthiness typical of RSV’s Carneros terroir while alluring flavors of vanilla, cinnamon and mocha show as the wine opens with time. Drink now with friends around a grill full of meats and veggies or save it and witness the wine evolve for years to come. Bottled in MAGNUMS only!
WHAT’S IN A NAME? Libration is all about balance. The name itself has several meanings. The most common is in astronomy where an oscillation of the moon allows parts near the edge, that are often not visible from the earth, to come into view. Another meaning is the vacillation of a scale just before it comes into balance. Libration Earth-Moon L1 refers to the Libration or Lagrangian Point in space referred to as L1 where gravity is perfectly balanced between the Earth and the Moon so a satellite can be parked in space without moving.
