blended with 7% Cabernet Franc

while subtle notes of fresh herbs and mountain berries dance in their wake

A prototypic Hochheim dry white with lots of earthy depth

confirmed in the ripeness of the white fruits and acidity

The taste evokes Grenache from vines planted in a schist soil at Mas Amiel

Rudd Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, USA 2012 Barolo blended with 7% Cabernet FrancA bold, assertive style that packs in a lot of flavor, with dense dark berry, mocha, mineral, cedar and loamy earth notes driving the core flavors. Though big and rowdy, there's a measure of finesse and suppleness here that moves to the forefront. 92 Pts Wine Spectator
