WINE DESCRIPTION
An authentic expression of a unique place, the Rudd Oakville Estate Red transcends grape variety with a profound expression of vintage and site from mature vines in the Estate’s complementary terroirs of core stone volcanics and alluvial fan. Composed for ageability, harmony, finesse and longevity, the Rudd Oakville Estate Red is the pinnacle of what the Oakville Estate produces in each vintage.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Rudd Oakville Estate Red Blend is a bold, full-bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and cigar box blend with notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured with ripe tannins and a long, elegant finish. Flavors of cassis and dark chocolate are complemented by touches of sage and tobacco. A surprisingly complex and well-balanced red, this is a great choice for a special occasion.
