Lot #635. Inglenook Proprietary Red Rubicon Estate 2012

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 RP.
"I think it’s safe to say this is potentially the best Rubicon made to date. It’s not to denigrate other vintages, but there is a finesse and elegance combined with great richness . . . . It possesses a dense purple color, beautiful, sweet crème de cassis notes with a floral underpinning. I don’t see any of the Rutherford dust, per se, but there is an undertone of earthiness. The wine is full-bodied, rich, potentially complex and certainly capable of lasting 20 to 30 or more years. This is a great young Rubicon that will have its peak in 5-7 years and last 25-30." Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014
Provenance: The Hobereaux Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
