Rubicon 2008 with deep color, great aromas, silky, smooth and lingering finish. One of the best Rubicon's I have tasted.

Prefer the 2006 right now (just tasted from a 1/2 bottle, was amazing) but the 2008 still solid; could sit for 3-5 more years to take some of the California edge off, but really no complaints.

Reminded of why this is one of our all time favorites. Let it decant for 1hr or so. Silky, elegant, yet backed by power and fruit.

The merlot really seems to shine through in this blend . Easy tannins. Nice wine.

Maybe the best bottle in 10 years. This filled an entire room with aromas of Blackberry and Cassis. Absolutely terrific
