After enjoying Realm and Rudius Farrella cabs, decided to try the bottling form the source. Excellent wine. Floral and red and black fruit on the nose. Great mouthfeel, smooth and a bit chalky. For a 2018 very easy to drink. 30 min decant. Really enjoyable at a great price. — 2 years ago

Both bold and easy on the palette. The incense is pleasant. It fills the mouth well. I might put this wine in the $70-$90 price range, yet the taste is quite fulfilling and we’re not left thinking the price was unreasonable. — 4 years ago

Really liked this. Dense, brooding dark fruits, charcoal, dark chocolate, espresso froth, leather. Paired nicely with a double-patty burger. — 4 years ago

Big fruit and oak on the nose. Cherry, blueberry, dense and oaky. Great structure! Tasting great now with still an hour decant. — 3 years ago

Because who doesn’t love to celebrate national Cab Franc day? @rudiuswines is Brittany & Jeff Ames label. Jeff was an early understudy to Thomas Brown, working on Schrader, Maybach, and Outpost amongst others while he developed his own client list, including Tor Kenward, Boich, and Anthem. It’s worth noting that the wines Jeff has produced for Tor have been some of my favorites for at least a decade.

The 2014 Rudius Cabernet Franc Sugarloaf Vineyard Napa Valley envelopes your plate with a captivating display of mouthwatering raspberry, savory loam, sweet tobacco, and just the right hint of bell pepper before the cocoa powder dusted finish rocks your world. Delicious is an understatement. This was so spectacular I opened it two nights in a row (run don’t walk to Sunshine and steal it for $40). #delicious #rediculouslydelicious — 4 years ago

Birthday red for the birthday girl 🍷 all made possible by the people’s champ, @Ron R 🙌🏻 thanks for sending this our way, sir - it’s some seriously delicious juice. I gave it one smell and thought to myself, “This is a 94/100 wine.” Glad to see my initial (and final) assessment was on par with most of yours.

Intoxicating notes of mulled plums, blackberries and blueberries, all baked together with anise, melted Mexican chocolate, and dried vanilla bean. Beautiful, luscious mouthfeel with a velvety finish. This is a winner. — 4 years ago

Should of used the Durand🙄,
Wine made the journey though, just a little air to blow off the age & you’re set. Reminds me of the 2012 Rudius Knockmore — 4 years ago

Yeah, it smells like new world Grenache (a little rhubarb and tangy red berries), but with a little plumpness and fat dark berries that reminds me fleetingly of Alexander Valley Merlot. Round and flavorful, very satisfying flavors to go with my 🌮s. A little peppery heat at the end. — 5 years ago
