Critic reviews
"Slated to be bottled in May 2025, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. It's a darker-fruited vintage, with scents of mocha, black cherries, black olives and earthy notes on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is richly textured, showing great intensity and ample tannins on the lingering finish."
Joe Czerwinski, June 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is soft, delicate and very pretty. It, too, has come together nicely with time in barrel. The 2023 is a relatively soft Rubicon with good upfront fruit, but it does not have the dimension or power of the most complex years—that much is pretty evident."
Antonio Galloni, November 2025, Vinous.com
"Intense, concentrated, poised, bursting with controlled but fleshy cassis and bilberry fruits, firm tannic frame, a ton of ageing potential without losing the joyful ability of Napa Cabernet to be approached within a few years of bottling. Again showing that it's hard to go wrong with 2023 Napa. Todd Devincenzi director, Philippe Bascaules winemaking director. 95ha estate."
