The vineyard is organically farmed, helping their wines more naturally achieve its greatest potential. Beneath the winery are tunnels upon tunnels of wine caves to age the wine in French oak barrels.The winery represents Oakville terroir at its finest with their care of the soils and production methods.
Summary
The Rudd Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Estate Grown 2003 is a meticulously crafted wine from California's prestigious Oakville region, known for its iron-rich volcanic soils. Comprising 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and small proportions of other Bordeaux varietals, this wine showcases a deep, opaque purple hue. The bouquet is dominated by rich black and blue fruits, with notes of charcoal and scorched earth. Full-bodied and opulent, it offers intense flavors of blackberry pie, cassis, and hints of rum-soaked raisins. Despite its power and size, the wine retains a certain structure and complexity, with firm tannins and a slightly warm finish. This limited-production wine highlights the exceptional pedigree of its estate-grown origins.
