Rudd Proprietary Red Napa Estate Reserve 2013
Dense ruby/purple color, copious notes of graphite and black fruits, sweet tannin, a voluptuous, opulent texture, and terrific purity as well as freshness. Additional flavors include olive tapenade and hints of espresso leading to a spicy finish reminiscent of favorite Bordeaux. This gorgeous, multi-dimensional, full-bodied 2013 is drinkable now, yet has the stuffing and length to last for another decade.
