Inglenook, Rubicon other_regions_italy full-bodied and caressing broad-shouldered flavorsThe deep garnet colored 2009 Rubicon contains 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. It has a fairly mature nose of leather, cigar box and baking spices over a core of prunes, dried mulberries and raisin cake with touches of sauted herbs and incense.
