2010 Rudius Cabernet Sauvignon

A complete effort, 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville possesses supple tannins, sweet creme de cassis notes, and beautiful purity as well as fragrance. More accessible and sexy than either of the 2009s, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years. Many readers may know of Jeff Ames, the impressively talented winemaker for Tor Kenward at his project called Tor. He also produces his own wines under the Rudius as well as Anthem labels (the latter is reviewed elsewhere in this report). Tel. (707) 287-2986
