This plot was a part of the historic Inglenook Winery, and it included the former home of Gustave Niebaum, member of the Culinary Institute of America’s Vintner’s Hall of Fame. After tireless effort by the whole family, the winery produced its first vintage in 1977 under the Niebaum-Coppola label. After many years of success, the family purchased Inglenook Winery in its entirety in 1995. In 2006, the winery was renamed to Rubicon Estate Winery in honor of the estate& Read more »
The wine has a wonderful, deep ruby color that is almost an inky purple at the center. The nose is full of jammy fruit, plums, blackberries, currant, with a hint of almost maple syrup. The taste is very fruit forward, but not really as sweet as I was...
