The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is dark, supple and super-expressive. It shows higher ripeness and a stronger oak imprint than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Even so, it has aged very well. Dark plum, espresso, licorice, sweet spice and a kiss of toasted French oak lend notable complexity throughout. In this tasting, ripeness and new oak feel accented, certainly more so than when this wine was younger. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)

Wonderful - smooth. Great finish. Perhaps a bit less complex than I’d preset for soooing on it own. Great with the rib eye steak.

Last year drank a few bottles of 2012, was amazing. Tryout this 2013, needed about 3-5 more years .

This was on fire 🔥 Quintessential Rutherford juice - a brand ambassador, for sure. Dynamite nose, killer body. Loads of pure, ripe fruit, graphite, anise, and that classic Rutherford dust.

Such a classic Rutherford Napa Valley red blend tasting black currant and black berry with savary herbs and oak spice. The tannins are chalky and drying to a very long finish. Superlative!
