packed with fruit and tannins with a generous aftertaste

pear and spices intertwined with a touch of toast

an amphitheater of vineyards growing on Kimmeridgian limestone soil—like its neighbor in Chablis

Rudd Samantha's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville USA Champagne Guy Charlemagne packed with fruit and tanninsA 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
