1985
From Rubicon Estate
Prestigious Napa Valley winery specializing in premium wines and exceptional terroir expression.
The 1985 Rubicon Estate Inglenook Reserve Merlot reveals a deep garnet hue, with a bouquet of dried cherry, plum, and subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of ripe red fruit, cocoa, and earthy undertones, supported by silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Secondary flavors of leather, spice, and forest floor emerge with aeration, reflecting its maturity and complexity. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and a touch of minerality, making it a memorable experience for seasoned wine lovers.
