96-Pt Rudd Estate Oakville Napa Cab—Extremely Limited & Ships FREE!

96 Points from Wine Independent saying:
"The 2020 Oakville Estate Red is composed of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it gallops out of the glass with energetic scents of fresh black plums, boysenberries, and black currant pastilles with suggestions of tapendade, pencil shavings, roses and dried Provence herbs, plus a waft of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is very tightly wound and vibrant, delivering loads of mineral-laced layers and red berry accents, finishing on a long, longering earthy note."

95 Points from Decanter saying:
"Sandalwood, dried tea leaf, and fresh cedar with blackcurrants and black berries on the nose and palate. Medium to full body. Fine tannins with a chewiness and serious length."

95 Points from James Suckling saying:
"Harvested over eight separate picks between 28 August and 14 September, which saw ripening expedited in Oakville and phenolics reaching peak maturity early on because of the warmer vintage. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon balanced by 4% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc exudes the grace and refinement of Oakville. Gorgeous aromas of cigar box, sagebrush, black currants, and spearmint. Full-bodied with a rich tapestry of inky black fruits, rich dried rose petal florals, and emergent raspberry fruits atop pixelated tannins that cascade over the palate in pin-point fashion. It's an utterly intriguing Cabernet and one of the most compact and structured of the vintage. It's beautifully built with restrained aromatics and compact flavours and has excellent length. Wait to pop corks until 2024, and enjoy this one over the next 5-8 years."
