Rudd Samantha's Cabernet Oakville 2018 USA Wine Chateau Brane-Cantenac Dense and very sweet onThis has an old school hint, showing warm earth and roasted cedar hints, with a mix of steeped plum and warmed cassis fruit flavors. There's a strong tug of loam through the finish, giving this a youthfully grippy feel. Offers more heft than purity, but this is plenty solid. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
