Description
Rudd Red 2018Leslie's Blend
Bottle (12)
A Second Offering from The Visionary’s Cellar. This remarkable collection of California Blue Chip icons, stellar Bordeaux and more is the result of decades on coveted mailing lists and relationships carefully cultivated over more than twenty years. The consignor spared no expense in creating two extraordinary cellars: one, a showpiece of elegant lighting and design for entertaining; the other, an equally meticulous reserve for overflow of the highest caliber. As our generous consignor embarks on a new chapter in retirement, the fruits of his passion are now offered to our bidders. Bid with confidence—and with gusto.
“This is the third vintage of this label, named after the recently departed Leslie Rudd, who particularly loved this vineyard perched at 1,600 feet on Mt. Veeder. Composed of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, the 2018 Leslie's Blend Mt. Veeder Estate has a deep garnet-purple color, offering up vibrant scents of freshly crushed black plums, wild blueberries and black currant cordial with nuances of pencil shavings, tar, new leather, Indian spices and forest floor. The full-bodied palate is packed with crunchy black fruits with loads of earth and mineral sparks, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and layered. 388 cases were made.” (97 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Jan. 2021)
