Description
After spending decades bringing the legendary Napa vineyards of the Inglenook property back together under his ownership, filmmaker Francis Coppola put the last piece of the puzzle together in spring 2011: he purchased the rights to the Inglenook name itself. Now all wines that were formerly called Rubicon, can bear the iconic Inglenook name, including this 'Cask' bottling.

Tasting Notes
The base cuv�e is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec sourced all from Rutherford. It has a classic, Saint Julien-like bouquet of cr�me de cassis, tobacco lead, damp earth, and spice that gives way to a full-bodied, concentrated, textured Cabernet that hits all the right marks. The top Rubicon release has a touch more elegant and precision, but this isn't far off. Drink this stunner any time over the coming 20 years or more. Maturity: 2020-2040. Score - 94.
