2007 Rudd Estate, Oakville, Proprietary Red, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

RP97 "Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot and 4% Malbec, the 2007 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red Wine has a deep garnet color and slowly evolving nose of incense, new leather, spice box and dried mulberries over a core of crème de cassis, preserved plums and mocha. Full-bodied with a firm backbone of chewy tannins and great freshness, the palate gives up plenty of savory layers and finishes on a persistent pepper and spice note. 1,363 cases produced."
