Super ripe fruit done in the most respectful and refined way. It oozes black fruit, and toasty vanilla.; but it has the structure and complex tobacco flavor to keep you coming back for more.

Solid, firm, fresh and gaining complexity. Ready now, with staying power.

Firm grippy tannins. Racy red almost purple. A nice full bodied Cali cab. Dark fruit and lots ( perhaps a tad too much ) oak ( French more than American I am guessing)

Maybe the name Rubicon, but this wine reminds me of a South African bottle. Big and fruity with a barrel taste of Kiri wood- like those made in SA. Liked it much.
