Rudd Oakville Estate Red 2012 is a Bordeaux-style blend that predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This vintage displays notes of dark fruit, including black cherry and plum, alongside hints of tobacco and wet stone. On the palate, it presents moderate tannins and a structured mid-palate, indicative of its age and potential for further development. Leslie Rudd, the proprietor, established the estate in 1996, focusing on sustainable vineyard practices. This wine is designed for ageing, with optimal drinking suggested from 2025 through 2040.

The 2012 Oakville Estate Red is dark, rich and sumptuous. A host of exotic cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco and licorice all meld together in an effortless, radiant wine that captures the personality of the western edge of Oakville. The Cabernet Franc is particularly expressive in 2012. Drink this sumptuous Oakville red over the next decade. In 2012 the blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot. Antonio Galloni1st October 2015
