Rudd Oakville Estate Red Blend 2014

95 points - limited                                                       Rare release of Rudd's Oakville Estate Red. Limited. 98+ Points Robert Parker: "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 color and is scented of freshly crushed 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. 758 cases were made." 95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):  "The 2015 Oakville Estate Red is dark, sumptuous and inviting. It could also turn out to be one of the best wines Frederick Ammons has made at Rudd. The flavors are intense but also precise, with notable freshness and tremendous overall balance. There is no shortage of richness to the dark, inky fruit. This is a hugely promising wine from Rudd."
