november 2014 rubicon member shipment

Dear Rubicon Member, We wish you and your loved ones a merry holiday season! We d like to take this moment to thank you for your patronage and support as we close out the year. Harvest is now behind us and we are grateful for the wonderful weather conditions that provided slow, steady ripening throughout the vintage. Our production staff worked tirelessly to pick the grapes with thoughtfulness and care and finished harvest within seven weeks. The 2014 vintage showed many similarities to the previous years in terms of yield and high quality. At the end of September we released a new wine, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 1882 and we are excited to share it with you in this shipment. 1882 honors the first vintage produced by Inglenook s founder, Gustave Niebaum. It s also the year he dug a small cave into the Mayacamas Mountains to experiment with temperatures for aging. What he began set the tone for practices all around the Napa Valley. Made exclusively with estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, 1882 radiates the richness and minerality found in the Rutherford Bench. We honor Gustave with this wine for his courage, innovation, and passion, which we continue to strive for at Inglenook. november 2014 rubicon member shipment Five bottles of 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 1882 Retail $45 per bottle Rubicon Member Price $33.75 per bottle Drink now or cellar for up to seven years One bottle of 2012 Edizione Pennino Zinfandel Retail $48 per bottle Rubicon Member Price $36 per bottle Drink now or cellar for up to five more years club shipments and events in 2015 Included in your November 2014 shipment package is your shipment schedule and event calendar for 2015.

2012 Edizione Pennino History Edizione Pennino Zinfandel pays tribute to Francis Ford Coppola s maternal grandfather, Francesco Pennino. Born in Italy, Francesco emigrated to the United States as a young man and started a music publishing company known as Edizione Pennino. Our estate Zinfandel bears the music company s logo in its original form and to add to the nostalgia, each vintage bottling has one of Pennino s song titles imprinted on the cork. When Coppola purchased the Inglenook estate in 1975, it was recommended that he remove the Zinfandel vines, but because this varietal has Italian origins and has always been enjoyed by his family, he insisted the Zinfandel remain. The Vineyards The Zinfandel for Edizione Pennino is grown in a variety of vineyard blocks scattered across Inglenook s 235 contiguous acres. The old dry-farmed, headpruned vines, which provide the backbone of the blend, offer concentrated berry flavors and spice; younger plantings of the historic Morisoli clone contribute fresh raspberry fruit flavors, lively acidity and spice notes; the historic Werle selection adds dark boysenberry aromas and a round texture. Because we farm organically on the estate, it requires extra effort to cultivate our Zinfandel, as this varietal is one that s susceptible to mildew and botrytis, but we think the rewards outweigh the added work that goes into creating this wine. Winemaking Notes Over the last few years, we ve refined our winemaking methods, using smaller boxes for picking, a new destemmer that is gentler on the fruit, thereby causing less oxidation, and we re applying greater scrutiny during the fermentation process by evaluating individual blocks of fruit daily to determine which will benefit from pump overs. These improvements greatly enhanced the quality of the 2012 vintage, which is sure to go down in the books as one of the best vintages of the decade. Steady, moderate temperatures lasted throughout the summer creating good conditions for ripening. We picked earlier than usual to preserve the elegance of the fruit and used both French and American oak barrels, 20% of them new, in the maturation process. Appellation: Rutherford, CA Blend: 95% Zinfandel, 2.5% Primitivo, 2.5% Petite Syrah Vineyards: Mountain, Cow Barn, Carriage, Gate, Wood Shed, Bridge, Saddle Case Production: 2,300 Tasting Notes Voluminous and very well focused, the 2012 Pennino Zinfandel displays a high degree of spice as well as big, juicy flavors of plums, cherries, and red fruits that are beautifully offset by a bright, balsamic-like acidity. Nuances of ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon mingle with notes of Mexican chocolate. One may even detect a hint of cherry blossoms. Integrated tannins support the structure and there is a succulent mouthfeel with a long, satisfying mocha finish.

2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 1882 1882 was the first vintage produced by Gustave Niebaum on the estate that would become one of the most renowned wineries in the New World - Inglenook. In the same year, Niebaum dug a small cave in the foothills of the Mayacamas to experiment and better understand temperature ideals for barrel aging. Niebaum s vision was legendary and his inquisitive search for perfection pioneered many initiatives of the modern-day Napa Valley. Today, Inglenook lies in the heart of the famous Rutherford Bench, offering an unparalleled wealth of quality fruit, richness and minerality from this unique terroir. 1882, made exclusively from estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, has been created to honor Gustave. Vintage Notes 2012 was one of the best vintages in recent history because of near perfect climate conditions. The entire season was marked by moderate temperatures, which lasted through September and October. Having no heat spikes or rain to contend with in the fall gave the grapes better concentration and ripeness as well as more textural dimension and flavor complexity Winemaking Notes Over the last few years, we ve perfected our already refined winemaking methods, using smaller trays during harvest, a gentler destemmer that minimizes oxidation, and applying greater scrutiny during the fermentation process by evaluating individual blocks of fruit daily to optimize pump overs. These methods have greatly enhanced the quality of our Cabernet Sauvignon, which is why this wine is a pure varietal representation. The wine spent 18 months in a combination of French and American oak, with a heavier slant on French oak. About 15% of the barrels were new wood to accommodate the robust character of the fruit. Tasting Notes Well structured with excellent volume and fine dry tannins, our 1882 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a solid core of dark fruits including blackberries, plums and black cherry, while aromatic notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaves, smoke, vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle hints of violets add complexity and intrigue. Our 2012 vintage of 1882 will continue to evolve over the next five to ten years.
