2019 Rudd Oakville, Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA

Description

Only the most expressive plots of estate Cabernet Sauvignon make up this wine. The late Leslie Rudd dedicated this wine to his daughter, Samantha, who now owns and runs Rudd Estate. The nose is incredibly intense with a pure focus of blackcurrant. There is also an earthy edge which brings freshness and complexity. The palate is fine and crisp, with a sense of very small berries and juicy fruit. The more air you allow this wine, the more the core fills out – allowing the sweet yet balanced nature of the Cabernet to shine. The tannins relax into smoothness and glide on the palate. This 2019 really grows in the glass and after decanting; it is rather stunning.

Drink 2024 - 2038

Critics reviews

James Molesworth 93/100
Ripe and focused, with subtle underlying energy to the mix of cassis, blackberry and sweet bay leaf notes, which roll through steadily. Picks up singed alder_yarrow accents on the finish. Solid. 636 cases made.Drink now - 2036james_molesworth, Wine Spectator

James Suckling 95/100
A lovely and soft pure cabernet with currants, hints of cedar, dust, hints of mint, and cherry. Medium to full body, creamy and delicious already. Fruit with tile and dust. Linear and fine tannins. Drink or hold.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (December 2022)

The 2019 Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 22 months in French oak, 50% of it new.Deep garnet-purple in color, it prances out with gregarious notes of Morello cherries, warm cassis, and wild blueberries plus suggestions of lavender, damp soil, and charcoal with a waft of dried roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is very tightly knit with loads of red, black, and blue fruit layers, supported by exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed. 637 cases were made.Drink 2026-2055Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent (June 2022)
