Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon In 1996, Leslie Rudd purchased a 55-acre parcel near Oakville, flanked by the renowned vineyards of Dalla Valle, Opus One, Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle, Phelps Backus and Silver Oak. He had realized his 30-year dream of owning a winery in the Napa Valley. The easy part over, he set about replanting the vineyards, refurbishing the winery and digging about 22,000 square feet of caves. Hard work is rewarding, but in this case, we wine lovers are the ones reaping the rewards of Leslie's dream and hard work in the form of RUDD 2001 OAKVILLE ESTATE PROPRIETARY RED. We featured this incredible wine at a recent event sponsored by the Duke's Wine Association. It was stunning! Robert Parker agrees with us and rated the wine 95 points on his 100-point scale. His quote, so much more eloquent than ours: "The 2001 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red (1,950 cases of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Malbec and Petit Verdot) exhibits an inky/purple/black color. This huge, powerful, deep, rich 2001 reveals telltale, big, sweet, chocolatey, espresso, blackberry, cassis aromas as well as massive flavors that ooze across the palate with great richness, purity, and equilibrium. The wine's wonderful sweetness is due to the full phenolic ripeness and elevated glycerin. High tannin is well-concealed by the extravagant richness of this brilliant effort." Our reaction was more simple than eloquent: "WOW!!!". (There were several more exclamation points but we lost count.) You, too, can share the rewards of Leslie's dream and hard work. The Duke has the RUDD 2001 OAKVILLE ESTATE PROPRIETARY RED available at $125.00 per bottle. Purchase a 6-pack of this extremely limited wine for just $699.99. Do not miss out on this one. Call today!
