2017 Inglenook "Rubicon", Rutherford Napa Valley boutique fanning out seamlessly from graphiteThe 2017 Rubicon is expansive, with intriguing depth. The wine has exciting complexity below the surface, which enhances its expressiveness. There is a defined aromatic core of ripe red and black fruits, especially raspberry, black cherry, and cassis. It is seamless on the palate, with finely polished tannins. The lingering finish is refreshing, with notes of crme de cassis and cocoa powder. Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc
