Inglenook, Rubicon - Napa Valley 2013

Rubicon, un vin d'Inglenook de classe mondiale

La production de Rubicon, le grand vin rouge d'Inglenook, a débuté en 1978 et a permis de restaurer l'héritage du domaine en matière de grands vins. Rubicon est un assemblage élégant issu des meilleures parcelles de vigne et illustre le plus haut potentiel du domaine et du millésime. Sous la direction de Philippe Bascaules, directeur technique d'Inglenook, Rubicon prend fièrement sa place dans les caves des collectionneurs du monde entier, aux côtés de millésimes beaucoup plus anciens et reconnus d'Inglenook.

Rubicon doit son nom à la petite rivière que Jules César a traversée en 49 avant J.-C. pour déclarer son intention de prendre le contrôle de Rome, déclenchant ainsi une guerre civile. Au fil du temps, l'expression "franchir le Rubicon" en est venue à signifier toute action irréversible à visée révolutionnaire ou dont l'issue est très risquée. Fidèle à sa profondeur peu commune, Rubicon d'Inglenook est le résultat d'un risque bien pris.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is dark, supple and super-expressive. It shows higher ripeness and a stronger oak imprint than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Even so, it has aged very well. Dark plum, espresso, licorice, sweet spice and a kiss of toasted French oak lend notable complexity throughout. In this tasting, ripeness and new oak feel accented, certainly more so than when this wine was younger.

Rock-solid, with a broad loamy base supporting layers of warmed cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves, while dark tobacco and singed alder fill in throughout. Weighty, but has polish through the finish, as the fruit and earth notes linger. Blind 2013 California Cabernet retrospective (February 2023). Drink now through 2036. 5,000 cases made.Rock-solid, with a broad loamy base supporting layers of warmed cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves, while dark tobacco and singed alder fill in throughout.

Starting to show its full character at seven years old, this is definitely in sight of peak drinking, although going nowhere for another couple of decades. Sit back and enjoy the layers of blueberry and cassis primary fruits, now softening into campfire, leather and black truffle edging. This is so good, with a still muscular structure that is turning into a slow stretch of supple tannins. A signature Napa Cabernet. 75% new oak.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon emerges from the back part of the property, which lies on the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains. Here the wines are dense, powerful and structured. That is exactly what comes through in the 2013. Layers of dark fruit built into a crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures laced with mocha, espresso, gravel and dark spice overtones. The new oak that was so prominent at the outset has begun to integrate and in so doing is allowing the fruit to come through to a greater degree than in the past. This is a tremendous showing for the 2013 Rubicon

The clarity and precision to this wine are phenomenal with blackcurrants, floral notes, blueberries, and orange peel. Complex and subtle with grace and stature. Full body, ultra-polished and refined tannins and bright acidity. The wine needs three to four years to open on the palate, but already it has a caressing quality to it.

Very fresh nose – terribly tempting to say it smells like young Ch Margaux! Aromatic and complex. Bone dry and appetising. Very racy. Extremely classy and dusty plus bordeaux plus beauty. Minerals aplenty and very fine tannins. More energy than the 2011 but with very similar tannins to the 2011.
