Saturday, January 8, 2022 - Just a really solid showing tonight, besting another of my favorites, a 2012 Bevan Wildfoote also opened. And that's no small feat!
It just has so much complexity. There's herbal sensations one second, there's dark black fruit another, then morphs into cherry and flirts with blueberry with swirling intensity all around, and the fruit's all there, it's still quite pure. I don't know what barrels it came from but it had to be from one of the upper echelon of Rudd's Oakville offerings. Maybe my best QPR buy ever.

A new company bought the name in 2016 but I don't know anything about their production or their wines. I doubt the 2013-2015's are available anywhere because it was only sold through the one store in Oakville. l had the same problem looking around for the 2013 Trespass Cab. My tasting notes are just to let other holders know its current state.
