The Inglenook Rubicon 2014 is an exceptional Californian wine, produced by the renowned Inglenook Winery. This vintage boasts a deep ruby colour, with hints of garnet at the edges. On the nose, one is met with a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, the wine exudes elegance and finesse, with silky tannins and a rich, full-bodied texture. Flavours of plum, blackcurrant, and dark chocolate are balanced perfectly with hints of vanilla and oak. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of black fruit and spices. This wine is a true representation of the excellence that California has to offer, and is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.
Winemakers Notes
Rubicon, a world-class wine by Inglenook Founded in 1879 by Gustave Niebaum, Inglenook remains the crown jewel of the Napa Valley under the stewardship of the Coppola family. The property has been bought by Francis Ford Coppola in the 1970’s and the wine is made by Philippe Bascaules, General Director of Château Margaux. The production of Rubicon, Inglenook’s premier red wine, began in 1978 and restored the estate’s legacy of making world-class wines. Rubicon is an elegant blend from the finest vineyard blocks and showcases the highest potential of both the estate and the vintage. Under the guidance of Philippe Bascaules, Inglenook’s Director of Winemaking, Rubicon proudly takes its place alongside much older, revered vintages of Inglenook in collectors’ cellars around the world. Rubicon was named after the small river crossed by Julius Caesar in 49 B.C., declaring his intention to gain control of Rome, thereby launching a civil war among opposing factions. Over time the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has come to signify any irreversible action with revolutionary intent or the outcome of which holds great risk. True to its uncommon depth, Inglenook's Rubicon continues to be a testament to the finely tuned rendering of a risk well-taken.
