About the Inglenook Rubicon 2017/2018 750ml
Strikingly rich in colour and extract, the 2018 Rubicon is unquestionably a precocious, hedonistic wine. The exotic, well-knit aromas and flavours include ripe cassis, allspice, star anise, vanilla and black licorice. Upon entry, this full-bodied wine envelops the palate with its luxurious concentration and supple, silky tannins, supported by vibrant freshness from the balanced acidity and perfectly-integrated French oak. Very long and expansive in the finish, the 2018 Rubicon will be memorable for decades to come.
Ratings are for the 2018 Vintage
Subtle and complex red with blackberry, black truffle, sweet tobacco and mahogany. Highlights of lavender and violets. Full-bodied and very tight with finesse and tension. Very polished, fine tannins. Long finish. It's delicious already, but best after 2022.
95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is based on a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and the balance of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It's a more backward, closed wine, offering classy notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, freshly crushed stone, and cedar. More medium to full-bodied and elegant, I'd like to see a touch more density and richness on the mid-palate. Still, it's beautifully balanced and has gorgeous tannins, integrated acidity, and outstanding length on the finish. Give this classic, impressive, old-school beauty 4-5 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 15-20.
