    Rudd Samanthas Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a standout red wine from the Oakville AVA in Rudd Winery Napa Valley. This Samantha Rudd wine crafted by winemaker Natalie Bath, boasts a 14.80% ABV. Its vibrant purple and magenta color catches the eye and invites you to enjoy a glass.

    On the nose, you’ll notice sweet-smelling aromas of plum and blueberry, balanced by fresh bay leaf and charred earth scents. These pleasing aromas translate almost identically to the palate. You’ll taste black currants, baked raspberries, and hints of rosemary, which bring a fresh lift to your taste buds. Rudd Samanthas Cabernet Sauvignon’s purity is complemented by persistent and chalky tannins that continue to intensify. The mid-palate texture, associated with iron-rich soils, is rounded out by dark cocoa sweetness and baking spices from hand-selected French oak barrels.

    Rudd Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 has received high praise from wine critics. Wine Spectator gave it a 93, noting its old-school hint with warm earth and roasted cedar hints, and a mix of steeped plum and warmed cassis fruit flavors. They highlighted its youthfully grippy feel and solid heft. Wine Advocate awarded it a remarkable 96 points, describing its deep garnet-purple color and captivating scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries, black currant pastilles, and rose oil. They also mentioned its full-bodied palate, vivacious red and black berry layers, firm backbone of grainy tannins, refreshing acidity, and long finish.

    Critical Acclaim

    WS 93
    Wine Spectator
    This has an old-school hint, showing warm earth and roasted cedar hints, with a mix of steeped plum and warmed cassis fruit flavors. There's a strong tug of loam through the finish, giving this a youthfully grippy feel. Offers more heft than purity, but this is plenty solid. Best from 2023.
    WA 96
    Wine Advocate
    Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha's was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 68% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips slowly out of the glass with captivating scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries, black currant pastilles and rose oil, followed by suggestions of cedar chest, pencil lead and black olives. The full-bodied palate is charged with amazing energy, featuring vivacious red and black berry layers and a firm backbone of grainy tannins, lifted by refreshing acidity and bags of crunchy fruit on the long finish.
