2014 Rudius Cabernet Franc Extended Aging Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard

Estate: Rudius Wines
Region: Napa Valley, California, United States of America
Vineyard: Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard


Tasting Note:February 08, 2017

Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Tons of black fruits on the nose with layers of black cheery cola and purple floral notes. Heavy tannins (8.5/10) and full bodied. Lots of weight, full bodied with black fruits, peppercorn and floral notes. Lingering finish. Can easily go for 20 years. (94-96+ points)


Barrel tasting Rudius Wines at Hunnicutt with David Grega. Still has around one to three months left in barrel before bottling, truly a unique Cabernet Franc. Will end up being between 30 months and 32 months of aging in around 70% new French oak. Love these wines by Jeff Ames and David Grega.
