About Crossroads by Rudd
A Generational Estate
Rudd Estate was founded in 1996, when entrepreneur Leslie Rudd bought a 55-acre property on the eastern side of Napa Valley's Oakville appellation. After Leslie's passing in 2018, his daughter Samantha Rudd, who grew up on the estate and trained at houses including Château Margaux, took the helm.
Crossroads by Rudd
Crossroads takes its name from the estate's location on the Oakville Cross Road. Samantha relaunched it as a companion label made entirely from estate fruit, so that every viable grape from the property would be used, and as an introduction to the people, land and craftsmanship behind Rudd.
Oakville and Mount Veeder
The wines come from Rudd's two estates: vineyards in Oakville, among Napa's most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon land, and higher-elevation vineyards on Mount Veeder, around 1,500 to 1,600 feet, known for Sauvignon Blanc and mountain reds.
Organic Farming
Under Samantha's leadership the estate moved to organic and biodynamic farming, and Crossroads wines are estate-grown and organically farmed. The result is a label offering a genuine taste of top Oakville and Mount Veeder terroir at a more approachable price than the estate's flagship wines.
