As with all of our proprietary wines, each bottle has a deep and personal meaning for us. Mud's Kitchen is named after James' grandmother, Margaret 'Mud' Madu, and her farmhouse kitchen where he grew up learning about flavors and life's great lessons. We certainly think that's something to raise a glass to!

Sourced from Clone #7 Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate, the grapes also give us an intense soft lushness that we really desire in our wines. With Mud's Kitchen, we hoped to showcase this wonderful clone and the intense muscular core and long expressive finish it gives us.

Rich and inviting aromas of concentrated black fruit, vanilla, cardamom, cedar and brown sugar invigorate the senses, while bold layers of concentrated fruit flavors carry an array of graphite, pencil shavings, and nutmeg to further enhance its complexity. This wine has incredible texture, nuance and elegance, while the fine-grained tannins are perfectly integrated and build to a crescendo on the finish. Can be either enjoyed now or with some patience will also age gracefully for the next 10 years.
