This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is named after Leslie and Susie Rudd’s daughter, Samantha. Samantha has taken the helm at their 48-acre estate vineyard in the heart of eastern Oakville with the intent to carry on the legacy that her parents built. The 2021 vintage was idyllic with a long cool growing season. Minimal rain fall made for tiny berries that gifted amazing levels of concentration to the wines. Notes of dark fruit, cocoa and cedar are present, in addition to firm, but well-integrated tannins. The estate is now organically farmed by winemaker Natalie Bath’s own team.
