A lovely enticing nose filled with rich plum, fig and blackcurrant fruits - heady and opulent. The palate is precise with a distinct texture, certainly dense and ripe but the flavours just settle on the tongue giving spiced touches of liquorice but allowing the freshness and acidity to underpin the overall taste. It feels very carefully constructed with everything in place allowing power and generality but neatly packaged and not overdone.
Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

Subtle and complex red with blackberry, black truffle, sweet tobacco and mahogany. Highlights of lavender and violets. Full-bodied and very tight with finesse and tension. Very polished, fine tannins. Long finish. Delicious already, but best after 2022.
 
Inglenook is a historical property in Rutherford, of California's Napa Valley. It was established as a vineyard in 1871 and has been owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975. Today, it makes a premium range of wines from classic Napa varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel.
In 1879, the 31 hectare (78 acre) estate was purchased by Gustave Nieubaum, as well as an adjoining 178 hectare (440 acre) plot of land. Nieubaum continued to expand Inglenook's holdings throughout the end of the 19th Century, and the wine was well-received by the public until the advent of Prohibition in 1919.
When the Volstead Act was enacted, Inglenook emptied all of its vats and sold off all the grapes in line with the new laws. In 1933, when the act was repealed, production resumed under the leadership of John Daniel, Jr. with great success  – the 1941 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon was one of Wine Spectator's 12 'Wines of the Century' in 1999. 
In 1975, Francis Ford Coppola bought 630 hectares (1560 acre) of the estate with the profits from his film "The Godfather". It was named the Nieubaum-Coppola Estate Winery as the purchase did not include the rights to the name Inglenook. The flagship Rubicon wine, a Bordeaux Blend, had its first harvest in 1978 and was released in 1985.
In 1995, Coppola purchased the rest of the Inglenook estate, and finally in 2011, acquired the rights to the name Inglenook. Since then, the wines have been produced under this name.
The Rubicon, which is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, is Inglenook's most famous wine. In addition to this, there are a few varietal red wines and Blancaneaux, a Rhone-style white blend of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier made from a small 2.6 hectare (6.5 acre) plot in the vineyard.
Philippe Bascaules: Trading First Growth Bordeaux For Napa
Three years ago Philippe Bascaules was named as the surprise appointment as managing director and winemaker of Francis Ford Coppola’s historic Inglenook winery. Before that he was Paul Pontallier’s No.2 at Château Margaux where he’d worked since 1990.
Since its inaugural vintage in 1978, Rubicon has been the estate’s premier red wine, manifesting Francis Coppola’s wish to create a Bordeaux-styled grand wine, that is, “a wine that can please contemporary taste, but with a historical aspect [that defines] our vineyards at their zenith.” 
Rubicon was named after the small river crossed by Julius Caesar in 49 B.C., declaring his intention to gain control of Rome, thereby launching a civil war among opposing factions. Over time the phrase “crossing the Rubicon” has come to signify any irreversible action with revolutionary intent or the outcome of which holds great risk.
True to its uncommon depth, Inglenook’s Rubicon continues to be a testament to the finely tuned rendering of a risk well-taken.
Under the guidance of Philippe Bascaules, Inglenook’s Director of Winemaking, Rubicon proudly takes its place alongside much older, revered vintages of Inglenook in collectors’ cellars around the world.
