For decades his wines won acclaim and remain some of the most admired in American wine history's classic period. By the mid-1960's, his property was divided, and estate-wine production ceased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decade later, Francis Ford Coppola purchased 1,500 acres of this historic property and revived Captain Niebaum's fine winemaking tradition. In 1995, Niebaum-Coppola acquired the remainder of the property and restored the Inglenook Estate to its original dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly expressive with extraordinary quality and character, Inglenook's 2013 Rubicon offers upfront aromas of cherries, black currants, and dark chocolate with substantial presence of oak, toast, and floral notes that continue evolving as the wine opens up. A dense, voluminous palate imbued with very fine tannins showcases flavors of dark crushed berries, cassis, and smoky wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the flavors gradually broaden, nuances of tobacco leaves and spices emerge. There is a precision and elegance to this vintage, which finishes with freshness due to the balanced natural acidity. Expect beautiful development as this wine matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e97 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn aromatic and complex red with currant, white-chocolate and rose-petal character. Full-bodied, tight and polished. Fine and long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e97 Points - Decanter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting to show its full character at seven years old, this is definitely in sight of peak drinking, although going nowhere for another couple of decades. Sit back and enjoy the layers of blueberry and cassis primary fruits, now softening into campfire, leather and black truffle edging. This is so good, with a still muscular structure that is turning into a slow stretch of supple tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 Points - Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300638 - Trialto Wine Group Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347404533972,"sku":"882919","price":471.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/10500794-INGLENOOK-RUBICON-2013.jpg?v=1784767488","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/inglenook-rubicon-2013","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
