Enjoy: 2008 - 2025
2002 Rudd Oakville Estate Napa Valley Proprietary Red

$69— RP95

The youthful 2002 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red (a 2,000-case blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, and 2% Merlot) possesses exceptional definition and intensity as well as high extract, richness, and tannin. Flawlessly tied together in a seamless, voluptuous package, it offers the same aromatic and flavor profiles as the 2001, but perhaps more unctuosity as well as exuberance. It will need 3-5 years of bottle age, and should keep for two decades.
