Rudd Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Rudd Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $90.00 per bottle

Description: The 2002 Rudd Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from the newly re-planted vineyards of our benchland site in Oakville. The vineyard is planted in very rocky, red volcanic soils using low-vigor rootstock, in a high-density, 4' x 4' vine spacing. The Cabernet Sauvignon for this wine came from the highly regarded Bordeaux clone #337 and two intensely-flavored, historic California clones, #4 and #15. The Cabernet Franc is clone #1, the Merlot is clone # 181, the Petit Verdot is clone # 400, and the Malbec is from clones #9 and #595. All of these low-yielding clones were planted because they consistently give high quality and are very effective at expressing our Oakville terroir.
