2019 marks the 20th vintage for Rudd Estate, and what an incredible growing season to coincide with this special anniversary year. This 2019 Estate Red comes from their 48-acre vineyard in the eastern side of Oakville. It is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon with 7% Cabernet Franc and aged in 100% French oak, 30% new French oak. As winemaker Natalie Bath explains, “The 2019 Rudd Oakville Estate Red opens with an intense sweet spice nose, full of vanilla bean, and subtle savory anise tones. The purity of fruit exhibited embodies an elegance in this wine — plush in nature, building in complexity and depth as the wine evolves. Mirroring the fruit on the nose, sumptuous summer ripe plums and black cherries show prominence on the entry, punctuated by a burst of red currant freshness. An earth and gravel-driven nature creates a striking aspect to the wine, present both in the volcanic mineral taste and the fine dusty texture, adding to the already powerful mid-palate core. Rounding out the finish is an exhilarating hint of graphite and dark cocoa with a slightly sweet and unending firm tannic finish. This wine will develop and age gracefully over the next 15-20 years.”
