Rudius dinner/tasting tonight with Rudius owners (Adam and Brittney Coy) and Daniel Posner.

Somewhat muted nose of brioche and hints of butterscotch. This doesn't see any new oak. On the palete, it presents with a zippy/zesty presence, has a steely Chablis like mouthfeel. Fruit-driven with hints of pears and apricots. Relatively soft, extended finish. Excellent.

Awesome New Chard for me. Tried a couple weeks ago at Lincoln Center NYC hosted by Martin Scott Wine Group. Tropical fruit , rich and creamy. Loaded with just a touch of oak. I would give this #rudiuswines a Big 95+ in my book. I purchased this (nothing is free) at WineWorks in Marlton NJ. WOW CB

13' Rudius Hyde Chardonnay. You must drink this wine at cellar temperature. If this is TOO COLD, you will not taste this wine at its full potential.

Light straw in color. Medium bodied. Spices, wildflowers, on the nose. A plethora of floral/citrusy/light acidity notes on the palate. Touch of some smoky oak. Pairing well with food. Looking forward to trying a few of the Reds!

A nice aged Chardonnay from Rudius, not sure I had this one before,
I like the Hartford & Ferren but sometimes you need something smooth without all The acidity .
No brainer for $32.00
