Unbelievably excellent. This is classic Scott McLeod, thick and rich with the requisite mocha black cherry flavors, finished with the expected Rutherford dust.

I had the 2005 in 2015. Rubicon (now Inglenook) prides themselves on this ubiquitous Cabernet. The tannins are soft and light, not what you'd expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon, but you should. The aging process takes the teeth from the lion.
Regardless, this is still a big bold Cab. Heavy berry flavors: black currant and dark cherry dominate. Barrel notes show up as nut(almond & walnut) and tobacco flavors. A fantastic Cab that comes alive when paired with beef.

This 2006 still packs a punch but the tannins are elongated and gorgeous. First impressions of creme de cassis, mulberry, currant and mocha.

2013 barrel sample from rubicon. Just amazingly developed for a barrel sample. Most had a huge amount of tannin but this is almost drinkable now. #premierenapa

I think this was the last great vintage of this wine. Hopefully the next one will compare
