Rubicon Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black fruits, chocolates, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, cedar, peppercorn, earth, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining. Fruit forward and easy drinking.
This 13 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the great 2012 vintage, is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A good quality wine, with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Well balanced and elegant.
I've enjoyed many different vintages of this wine over the years, from older to younger, and it never fails to deliver.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. Aged in ( 75% new) French Oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$300.

Quick tasting notes from an Inglenook wine tasting...
This flagship wine is definitely applause worthy. Beautiful nose that is so inviting with cinnamon & blackberries. The flavors and structure in the taste are stunning.

One the best examples of Rutherford dust this evening. Still so young but so much potential.

Deep ruby with no rim variation. M+ intensity. Plum, red cherries, jammy, baking spice, vanilla and a hint eucalyptus or mint. On the palate, black fruit, black currant, black cherry and blueberry. Cocoa and spice. Round tannins and a long lingering finish. Lots of layers in this wine. Fabulous!
