An excellent sparkling wine from Carneros. 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Chardonnay sparkling wine made in the traditional method. Hard to find but well worth the search. Love everything from Crocker & Starr — 3 years ago

8.9

Pretty consistent with the 22 vintage. Tart, fresh, raspberry, a little bitter and herbaceous towards the end. Slightly less abv at 12%

Follow up: By day 3, it’s not good anymore. — 4 months ago

Another special gem from Oakville. Rudd produces some stellar wines and this Samantha is a shining example of a Cab that is coming into its own. Still would improve on the shelf for another 10+ years. — 4 years ago
