Renowned New Orleans fine-dining establishment, Restaurant R’evolution, has partnered with family-owned and California-based Donati Family Vineyard to launch a special Cabernet Sauvignon varietal, sold exclusively through Restaurant R’evolution’s newly established wine brand. The curated blend is 95 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 percent Merlot and 2 percent Cabernet Franc. The grapes used were sourced from the Paicines AVA, the ninth-oldest appellation in California, established in 1982.
Priced at $15 per glass and $60 per bottle, the Cabernet Sauvignon will also be available across all of Royal Sonesta New Orleans’ on-property dining and entertainment outlets, including The Jazz Playhouse and Desire Oyster Bar, as well as throughout the luxury hotel’s banquet and catering events.
“We are thrilled to unveil this collaboration and launch a new Cabernet Sauvignon from our portfolio with a team that understands and appreciates all aspects of great wine,” says Donati Family Vineyard Founder Ron Donati. “We look forward to a successful and exciting partnership with the renowned culinary creators of Restaurant R’evolution.”
Known for its world-class, custom-built glass and wood wine cellar, which houses an inventory of more than 10,000 bottles, the launch marks the first in-house branded and labeled wine offering in Restaurant R'evolution's history.
“After recently celebrating our seventh anniversary, we’re proud to expand our offerings further with this exclusive wine,” says General Manager Luis Ochoa. “Made possible through Wine Director Steven Russett’s collaboration with Donati Family Vineyard, we look forward to providing the French Quarter with this new specialty Cabernet Sauvignon.”
Still to come, Restaurant R'evolution will be unveiling two more varietals – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – later this year. The popular fine-dining destination is housed inside landmark luxury hotel Royal Sonesta New Orleans, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout 2019.
