About this product
Pairs well with BeefAn authentic expression of a unique place, the Rudd Oakville Estate Red transcends grape variety with a profound expression of vintage and site from mature vines in the Estate’s complementary terroirs of core stone volcanics and alluvial fan. Composed for ageability, harmony, finesse and longevity, the Rudd Oakville Estate Red is the pinnacle of what the Oakville Estate produces in each vintage.
Deep in color with a hint of violet edges, the 2015 presents black cherry on the nose. With an elegant entry, the mouth is filled with supple tannins, yet the wine remains fluid and focused. An Estate blend that is dominated specifically by the vineyard lots originating from the Rudd Alluvial Fan, revealing elements of fresh acidity and dark fruit. The beauty of alluvial characteristics are complemented by the lots from the red, volcanic soils with the wine showing density and volume with notes of bramble, earth and iron rust.
Blend: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec.

"Blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec, the 2015 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red Wine has a very deep purple-black colour and is scented of freshly crusted black currants, blackberries and black cherries with touches of cedar chest, pencil lead, menthol, Chinese five spice and violets, plus a waft of sandalwood. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is very finely crafted with amazing freshness and vivacity, framed by firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins and finishing with lingering exotic spice notes." Score 98+
