Rubicon 2004
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesRubicon, Winemaker Scott McLeod and owner Francis Ford Coppola's ode to the historic Niebaum-Coppola estate, is all grown up. The intense scrutiny given this wine and its fruit is closing on two decades and the wine is really beginning to hit its stride. The '04 is a glossy seductive, red full of ripe black fruit mixed with smoky vanilla and hints of milk chocolate. Totally "California" it's almost all cabernet net with a mere 1/1/2 mix of merlot, cabernet franc and petite verdot. Made for short to mid-term drinking in this warm vintage.
