Flavour notes
Rubicon 2018 is full in style, with a firm structure and a core of ripe dark fruit. Blackcurrant, blackberry, plum and dark cherry sit alongside red cherry, with floral notes of violet and lavender adding lift.The darker, more savoury side of the wine brings allspice, star anise, black liquorice, cedar, espresso, graphite, sweet tobacco, cocoa, black tea, truffle, incense and mint. French oak is integrated, contributing vanilla and depth without taking over the fruit.
The tannins are described as fine, polished and silky, yet with enough firmness to carry the wine. Balanced acidity gives freshness, while the finish remains structured, persistent and well defined.

Product info about Inglenook Rubicon 2018
Inglenook Rubicon 2018 is the flagship red wine of Inglenook from Rutherford in Napa Valley. Produced since 1978, Rubicon represents the estate's Bordeaux-inspired blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Petit Verdot.The fruit comes from several Inglenook estate blocks, including Apple, Bridge, Cask, Cohn, Creek, Gio, Lower Garden and Walnut. That makes Rubicon a broader expression of the estate rather than a wine built around one single vineyard section. It spent 18 months in French oak before being bottled in June 2020.
For 2018, Inglenook describes a season of moderate warmth and gradual ripening, particularly beneficial for Cabernet Sauvignon and the other red Bordeaux varieties. The result is presented as a wine with freshness, elegance and structure. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a serious Napa Valley red for drinkers who appreciate depth, age-worthiness and a clear sense of estate identity.
The vintage received strong international recognition, with several scores reaching up to 97 points. As these are the last bottles, Rubicon 2018 has a particular appeal for anyone looking for a structured Rutherford wine with further cellar potential.
Rubicon 2018 is full in style, with a firm structure and a core of ripe dark fruit. Blackcurrant, blackberry, plum and dark cherry sit alongside red cherry, with floral notes of violet and lavender adding lift.
The darker, more savoury side of the wine brings allspice, star anise, black liquorice, cedar, espresso, graphite, sweet tobacco, cocoa, black tea, truffle, incense and mint. French oak is integrated, contributing vanilla and depth without taking over the fruit.

About INGLENOOK
Inglenook is a historic wine brand from California, United States, that has its roots in the famous Napa Valley. The brand was originally founded in 1879 by the Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum, who with his passion for winemaking managed to establish one of the earliest quality estates in Napa. Over the years, Inglenook has had several owners, but the estate's reputation remained long associated with high-quality wines, mainly cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Since 2011, the vineyards and estate have once again been managed under the name Inglenook, after film director Francis Ford Coppola, already the owner, succeeded in reuniting both the historic name and the estate. Characteristic for Inglenook is the focus on traditional vinification techniques and the use of grapes from its own vineyards in Rutherford, an area known for its exceptional terroir. The wines of Inglenook are often distinguished by their aging potential and balanced style, which makes the brand popular among both connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts interested in the rich Napa past.
