The 2018 Rudd Samantha’s Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite wine that captures the elegance and depth of Napa Valley’s Oakville terroir. Named after founder Leslie Rudd’s daughter, Samantha, this vintage reflects the meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality that Rudd Estate is celebrated for.

The nose offers a bouquet of dark cherry, black currant, and plum, beautifully layered with notes of violet, graphite, and cedar. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate complemented by hints of tobacco and toasted oak. The structure is refined, with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity that provide a polished mouthfeel. The finish is long and complex, lingering with a subtle minerality and echoes of dark fruit and spice.

Perfect for pairing with a grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, or a selection of fine cheeses, the 2018 Rudd Samantha’s Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging potential. Available at Modern Mart DC, this wine is a sophisticated choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate Napa Valley’s best.
