Inglenook Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

95 Points James Suckling Full-bodied with lots of layered fruit and round, creamy tannins. The palate shows lovely ripe-berry character with chocolate and hazelnut and a long, flavorful finish. Hints of black truffles. Plenty going on here with a firm framework that gives the wine form and interest.

95 Points The Wine Independent Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Rubicon features notes of fragrant earth, dusty soil, and powdered cinnamon, giving way to a core of blackcurrant pastilles and boysenberries with touches of lilacs and black truffles. The full-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and lively acidity to counter the bright black fruits, finishing long and earthy.

94 Points Decanter This wine has such excellent drive, powerful but rounded and appealing at the same time. Blackcurrants and milk chocolate combine on the nose followed by a chewy, dark-fruited, liquorice-edged palate.
