2008
From Rubicon Estate
Prestigious Napa Valley winery specializing in premium wines and exceptional terroir expression.
The 2008 Rubicon Estate Inglenook RC Reserve Syrah presents a deep, inky hue in the glass, hinting at its concentration. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum are layered with notes of violet, cracked pepper, and smoked meat. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, offering flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and espresso, complemented by hints of leather and savory herbs. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity lends balance and freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of spice and mineral, showcasing the wine’s complexity and aging potential.
