2021 Rubicon, Inglenook, Rutherford, Napa Valley
This year sees one of the highest proportions ever of Cabernet Franc in the blend at 9% to compliment the 87% Cabernet and 4% Merlot. The 2021 Rubicon is tightly coiled, muscular with real depth and energy running through the core of cassis fruit. It offers notes of cocoa nibs, cedar, with pencil shavings and a hint of five spice on the finish. This is brilliant Rubicon that is fresh, supple and robust.
