2018 Rubicon
There is the smokiest, sexiest, barely there and yet so precise sense of power. Just a great mix between the generosity of Napa and the elegance and balance of a European winemaking mindset. The tannins show sinew and muscle but allow juice to flow through them from beginning to end. An excellent vintage that once again shows Rubicon setting the pace for Rutherford Cabernet, and proving how nuanced and thrilling it can be. All aged in French oak barrels, 75% new. Philippe Bascaules winemaking director.
97/100 Jane Anson
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Rubicon features notes of fragrant earth, dusty soil, and powdered cinnamon, giving way to a core of blackcurrant pastilles and boysenberries with touches of lilacs and black truffles. The full-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and lively acidity to counter the bright black fruits, finishing long and earthy.
