Rudius Wines

Jeff Ames stumbled into the wine industry on a whim but reached his oenophile stride with the establishment of Rudius Wines in 2005. The experience he gained while working under Thomas Rivers Brown for Schrader, Maybach, Outpost and Tor where surely building blocks for his successful, admirable winemaking career. He is a self-proclaimed perfectionist when it comes to the quality of his fruit and has a minimalistic approach when utilizing natural yeast and whole cluster fermentation while avoiding the use of any fining or filtration. The Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet and Chardonnay are some of the most exciting wines on the market.

Tasting Notes

WA96+
A killer effort from Jeff Ames is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Kaley Elizabeth. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon from clone 7, this is a beauty, aged in a combination of new Taransaud and Darnajou cooperage. Inky, opaque blue/purple in color with notes of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, creosote, charcoal and graphite, the wine is full-bodied, multilayered, deep, powerful, concentrated and moderately tannic. Give this wine 5-8 years of bottle age and drink over the following 35-40+ years, as it is a keeper.
