In a difficult vintage, this winery continues to do great things. So impressive, and represents a great value in the Napa cab herd.

Very impressive stuff, in what was a lousy vintage. Rudius 11 is a buy.

Oh yes... Oodles of maple syrup, maraschino cherries and spice box on the nose.
Palette is utterly consistent with the perfume. Wood treatment is not overdone. Tannins are ripe and pronounced - just how I like them. It finishes with a burst of kirsch.
This wine has put on weight since I last tasted it. 14.5% alcohol which is completely submerged.
