Rudd Crossroads OAKVILLE Cabernet (2021) db

 The year commenced with little rain, leading to an early budbreak with the second year of drought conditions in Napa Valley. Mild spring temperatures allowed for an easy renewal to the growing season with temperatures rising in the summer months, accelerating the start of harvest.

The Oakville Estate harvest started early on August 27th, with beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon ready to be picked over the course of three weeks. A small yielding vintage revealed wines of great concentration and flavor with select lots making the cut for our stunningly approachable Crossroads Cabernet Sauvignon.
