RUDD ESTATE

Rudd Estate stands out as an exceptional place with unmatched terroir - uniquely situated within Napa Valley with a geologic backbone of volcanic rock weathered into core stone bedrock and alluvial sediments creating iron-rich, well-drained soil ideal for growing grapes. Their vineyards are farmed organically by their own full-time team. Having their own team enables some of the most significant winemaking actions of the year to be made in a focused, adaptive, and timely manner. Most importantly, this control over the vineyards allows them to learn from the cycles of each season and alter our techniques to bring out the unique potential of the Estate's land. Rudd seeks to create wines that reflect the ultimate expression of their world-class terroir - respecting the traditions of the past, challenging the present, and imagining future possibilities.

SAMANTHA'S CABERNET

The Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon is a selection of Rudd Oakville Estate blocks that yield grapes of depth and character that craft a wine inviting drinkability and conviviality. An expression of how a world-class grape variety can perform when diligently farmed in one of the best parts of Oakville.

The estimated fair market value is $549
