Animal and bold, sweet tobacco and forest leaves. Smooth tannins and jammy. Low acidity and lack of proper roundness and refinement.

I believe this vintage is 100% cab. This is a great example of well integrated oak. #pghwinefestival

Tannins still prominent but nice fruit and oak flavors.

Alive and well. Pure, plump fruit, velvety tannins with just a whisper of sour/dried tomatoes on the finish.

Super ripe fruit done in the most respectful and refined way. It oozes black fruit, and toasty vanilla.; but it has the structure and complex tobacco flavor to keep you coming back for more.

Crossed the Rubicon and passed a point of no return just like Julius Caesar's army's crossing of the Rubicon River (in the north of Italy ) in 49 BC which this wine is aptly named for. Red currants, blackberries, cedar, herbs, and more are all crossing together harmoniously in this iconic wine.
