Tasting Note

Ideal harvest conditions endowed the 2016 Rubicon with the three elements associated with a truly great wine from the Rutherford appellation: complexity, balance, and elegance. The aromas are intense and focused with top notes of creamy, sweet vanilla, and black licorice wound around a core of exquisitely ripe black cherry and crème de cassis. This refinement extends directly to the palate, where the wine is both broad and deep with sensuous, silky tannins. Supremely balanced in terms of both opulence and complexity, ripe black fruits and an ultra-smooth texture provide an impressive crescendo to a very long finish.

The wine is a highly rated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot that showcases the best of Napa Valley. It highlights the distinct terroirs and the expertise of the winemaking team at Inglenook, with each grape variety providing its unique contribution to the final blend. Rubicon has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of blackcurrant, blackberry, leather, and tobacco. The taste is full-bodied and elegant, with well-structured tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Inglenook Winery Rubicon is a wine that will excite both novice and experienced wine lovers alike.

About the Winery

Inglenook Winery

The history of Inglenook Winery began in 1879 with its establishment by a Sea Captain from Finland named Gustave Niebaum. At that time, Hamden McIntyre, an employee working under Gustave, helped him design the gravity-flow winery. Although Hamden did not serve as an architect by profession, he was well-versed in the field. He had taken on similar projects in his lifetime, with Far Niente being an example. His design allowed Inglenook Winery to become one of the best in the region based on several factors.
