2007 Rubicon Estate 'Rubicon' Rutherford

The historic estate of August Niebaum has been in good hands since Francis Ford-Coppola took charge over a quarter century ago. Their wines get better every year and the 2007 Rubicon Estate is a rockstar in its own rite. Wine Spectator notes 'Complex aromas of fresh leather, currant, spice, tobacco, black licorice and plum lead to a ripe, rich, full-bodied palate, elegantly proportioned and stylish, firming on the finish where this picks up a touch of mineral and crushed rock. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2020.' This wine behaves like a diva that hits the high notes with ease.
