2013 Inglenook "1882" Rubicon Estates Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 5% alcoholThe 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 1882 shows just how compelling this vintage is, even at the entry level. Black cherries, plums, menthol, lavender and licorice flow across the palate in a dark, sumptuous wine endowed with real depth and nuance.
