Inglenook 2018 Rubicon | Rutherford Napa Valley Cabernet Blend
Experience the pinnacle of Napa Valley craftsmanship with Inglenook’s celebrated 2018 Rubicon. This meticulously blended red wine (88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot) hails from the iconic Rutherford estate vineyards renowned for producing world-class collectible wines.

Critics unanimously praise its exceptional quality and structure:
* Revel in complex layers of blackberry compote, crushed stone minerality, elegant cedar spice, and hints of black truffle or espresso.
* Admire its refined yet powerful presence – full-bodied with beautifully polished tannins offering both finesse and impressive tension.
* Enjoy a remarkably long finish that reveals subtle floral nuances like lavender alongside savory notes of sweet tobacco or anise.

While approachable now for its depth (14.3% alc.), this award-winning Napa Valley wine possesses remarkable cellar potential. Experts recommend aging until at least 2025-2028+ for optimal development; its superb balance ensures graceful evolution through 2040+. Perfectly paired with prime rib or rich mushroom dishes.

Recognized as a true cellar investment (Wine Enthusiast Cellar Selection), this highly-rated premium Cabernet Sauvignon blend represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Inglenook’s storied legacy – an elegant expression destined to impress discerning collectors seeking long-aged red wines of distinction.
