Notes | |||
"A wine born of a memorable year, the 2017 Rudd Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty wine that is lively and full of luminosity on the palate. It delivers while young with the potential to develop gracefully for 8-15 years before reaching its peak." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Oakville Estate Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, rich and powerful. Black cherry, spice, blackberry jam, grilled herbs, smoke and licorice all build in a sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon built on textural density and breadth. The 2017 is a gorgeous wine, especially within the context of the vintage." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha’s is composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 22 months in French oak, 63% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to reveal pretty suggestions of lilacs, star anise, fragrant soil and Chinese five spice with a core of ripe black currants, boysenberries and black cherries plus a waft of cigar box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a great mid-palate chock-full of muscular fruit, supported by well-played, velvety tannins, finishing with a perfumed lift." —Wine Advocate |
