In Detail
Crafted by Château Margaux winemaker Philippe Bascaules
With 98 points from Decanter, the 2017 Inglenook Rubicon sits at the very pinnacle of the vintage—matching the Harlan family’s Promontory, which goes for $1,191!
This is a First Growth-caliber Napa Cab masterpiece crafted by Philippe Bascaules—Managing Director of Château Margaux—and we’ve got it this Labor Day weekend at an unprecedented price.
Winery SRP is $285, and national chains are asking $209. Our price is just $150, the absolute lowest price in the United States, delivering Rutherford royalty at a full $135 off retail. On Tuesday, the price goes up to $175 (still the lowest price in the country).
Founded in 1879 by Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum, Inglenook was Napa Valley’s original First Growth contender. A century later, filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola acquired the property, embarking on a multi-decade crusade to reunite its historic vineyard blocks before bringing Bascaules aboard to restore European restraint and architectural precision. After a quick 20 years at Margaux, Bascaules took the helm.
Sourced entirely from the estate’s organically farmed Rutherford soils, this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend delivers signature cocoa, dark plum, and graphite complexity wrapped in fine-grained, persistent tannins. It is a monumental Napa red entering its peak drinking window now with two decades of cellar evolution ahead. Secure yours now before it arrives!
