2013 Rudius "Hudson Vineyard" & "Stoney Vine Vineyard" Syrah Horizontal
Bid on this 6-bottle tasting lot; including 3-bottles of 2013 Rudius "Hudson Vineyard" Carneros Syrah (94RP, 91WS) and 3-bottles of 2013 Rudius "Stoney Vine Vineyard" Walla Walla Valley Syrah. Of the 2013 Rudius "Hudson Vineyard" Carneros Syrah, Wine Advocate writes: "The 2013 Syrah Hudson Vineyard is made from the famous Alban clone of Syrah. French in style, with notes of damp earth, pepper, frying bacon and steak tartare, this savory wine saw 35% whole-clusters during fermentation. The wine is rich, full-bodied, Northern Rhône-like and rich and persistent in the mouth. This is a sensational Syrah, obviously from fabulous raw material, but not much was made (only 120 cases). Drink it over the next 7-8 years. (RP)" (10/2016)

Condition: Excellent
Founded by Jeff Ames, Rudius Wines is a small-production California winery known for sourcing fruit from elite vineyard sites and crafting intensely site-driven wines with a balance of power and precision. Hudson Vineyard, located in the cool southern reaches of Napa Valley near Carneros, is one of California’s most respected Syrah sites, shaped by volcanic soils, persistent bay influence, and long growing seasons that preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. Ames’ restrained use of oak and focus on vineyard expression allow the site’s savory olive, pepper, and dark-fruited character to emerge clearly, showcasing a more Northern Rhône-inspired expression of California Syrah.

“Expressive smoky beef and blueberry aromas lead to a structured core of lively tannins and acidity, framed by rich flavors of boysenberry, mineral, dark fruitcake spices and licorice. Drink now through 2027. (TF, Web Only-2017)” (01/2017)

“The 2013 Syrah Stoney Vine Vineyard comes from the Oregon side of Washington State’s Walla Walla Valley. It is 100% Syrah and impressively done. Aged in completely neutral oak, the wine has a dense, opaque ruby/purple color, a big sweet kiss of cassis and blackberry with white flowers, bacon fat and earth. (RP)” (10/2016)
