Inglenook Rubicon Cask Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2009
Inglenook Rubicon Cask Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2009
Upheld by the Coppola family’s devoted stewardship, Gustave Niebaum’s legacy thrives at Inglenook. Wines, crafted with artistry and respect for the land, echo over a century of winemaking prestige.
The Coppola family's bond with Inglenook is not just one of ownership, but of deep, personal resonance that dates back to their first bottle shared at a family meal. It is a story of renaissance and stewardship, where Francis Ford Coppola's vision to restore the estate's legacy has been infused with the same passion and diligence that characterizes his films. Each vine planted and bottle produced at Inglenook is a chapter in the Coppola family narrative, a testament to their commitment to excellence and the art of winemaking. At Inglenook, the Coppolas don't just craft wines; they cultivate a family legacy that harmonizes with the land's natural grandeur.
At the helm of Inglenook's winemaking since 2011, Philippe Bascaules brings a spirit of daring innovation matched with a respect for tradition. Drawing on his esteemed experience from Bordeaux, Philippe arrived in Napa Valley with a vision to marry Inglenook's storied terroir with contemporary winemaking excellence. His philosophy intertwines adventure with the art of finesse, pursuing wines that whisper complexity and mystery rather than shouting power. For Philippe, the essence of a great wine lies in its enigmatic soul—each bottle is a narrative of Inglenook's land, crafted to captivate and inspire through aromatic allure and a gracefully structured journey.
Critical Acclaim
93 Wine Spectator
A classy effort that is rich and layered, restrained and structured, featuring fine tension between the dried currant, cedar, cigar box and anise flavors and the firm, fine-grained tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2023.
92 Wine Advocate
A big, imposing wine, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is going to need some time to shed its tannin and baby fat. There is plenty of weight and gravitas in the glass. Smoke, tar, chocolate, licorice and dark red raspberries are all woven into the virile, authoritative finish. In 2009 the blend is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
