Nez de fruits frais, de framboise, de cassis et d'herbes de printemps pour une bouche droite, juteuse et parfaitement équilibrée. Une très belle bouteille en devenir pour les plus patients (5 à 10 ans). Une très belle entrée en matière dans l'univers Inglenook. 95 % de cabernet-sauvignon et 5 % de cabernet franc.

The depth and power of this wine is striking from the first moment, and even now after two years in bottle it is fresh out of the gate, barely revving up its engines. Black cherry, fennel, slate, tocacco, cigar box, give it a few more years in bottle to fully smooth out, then enjoy this luscious example of Napa Cab. Winemaker Todd DeVincezi, consultant winemaker Philippe Bascaules, 43% new oak.

Made from 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored. It comes bounding out with exuberant notes of crushed black cherries, juicy blackcurrants, and spice cake, plus touches of espresso, tilled soil, and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is juicy and refreshing, delivering plush tannins and a spicy kick to the finish.

Starting with the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, this ruby/plum-hued effort displays attractive currants and savory black cherry fruit as well as notes of tobacco, savory herbs, leather, and earth. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's nicely textured, moderately concentrated, and balanced, with outstanding length. 10,608 cases.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose pops with vivacious notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie and redcurrant jelly, plus hints of crushed rocks, bay leaves and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a solid, firm and grainy texture with a lively backbone cutting through dense earth-laced layers, finishing long and minerally. Impressive!

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon offers a captivating mix of textural intensity and vibrancy. Black cherry, spice, rose petal, menthol and licorice are all beautifully delineated. A wine of vertical lift and drive, the 2019 has the vibrancy to develop beautifully for years to come.
