Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - James Suckling:
"Perfumed with a floral edge and dark fruit, very expressive and flirtatious. The tightly wound palate has fine-boned tannins and a rounded mouthfeel, with a mineral, earth-driven finish. A wonderful gateway into Rudd. A blend of 76% cabernet sauvignon, 13% cabernet franc, 9% petit verdot and 2% malbec. Drink or hold." (Nov 2025)

94 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Crossroads is Rudd’s entry-level wine, yet it is impressively structured in 2023. Oakville’s signature gravelly tannins are very much on display – slightly chewy, lending texture and depth. Pure, ripe black fruit flavours unfold alongside loamy earth and warm Indian spice notes, bringing both intrigue and a comforting sense of completeness to the wine’s polished frame." - Jonathan Cristaldi (Mar 2026)
