2008 Rubicon Estate "Cask" Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

"Cask" is Rubicon Estate's tribute to the style of Rutherford Cabernet produced by Inglenook Winery in the 1940's, when it was regarded as the best in Napa Valley. This 100% estate Cabernet is aged for two years in American oak prior to release. It reveals a nose of currant, cherry, and earth. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with suave tannins, layers of creamy fruit and spice, and scents of tobacco and cedar on the finish.
