Rudius
Kaley Elizabeth Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
One of our faves that we caught just in time. It’s begun it’s downswing. Fruits are not so prominent, while the tertiary, earthy notes are beginning to emerge. Not so fleshy or flashy. Still has a good tannic structure, with supporting acidity. Oak treatment adds a nice additional layer of complexity. If you like aged wines, this is for you. If you prefer drinking wines in their youth, and you have this vintage in your cellar, giddy up.

Apr 15th, 2018This has a beautiful, feminine nose of flowers, kirsch, with a hint of spice box.
The palette is complex and dense. Jam compote is followed by notes of red licorice, and bitter chocolate. Bold, yet somewhat restrained tannins, interplay with bright acidity. Finishes plush and sweet. This is a killer Napa cab.

This was a fantastic find recommended at a Napa wine shop. It needs 30-60 minutes of air to open after which it is full of wonderful Cabernet structure with a strong dash of chocolate. If you have never tried it, buy a bottle and enjoy!
