Rubicon Estate
Francis Ford Coppola has been making movies for more than 30 years, and wines at his Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery in the Napa Valley for almost 20. In February 1995, he purchased the remaining part of the original estate--the massive stone Inglenook Chateau and its adjacent vineyards. This purchase reunited Gustave Niebaum's original Napa Valley estate established in 1879 and preserves his legacy for future generations.
Distinctively appointed tasting rooms, vaulted stone cellars and a spectacular hand-carved staircase crowned by a jewel-like stained glass window are a few of the dramatic attractions at the winery. The Inglenook Chateau also houses a Centennial Museum, where visitors can see documents and artifacts from Inglenooks early beginning and glory days, and memorabilia from many of Coppola's films. Vito Corleone's desk and a chair from "The Godfather," a Tucker car from the movie of the same name, as well as props and costumes from "Bram Stocker's Dracula" are displayed. Mr. Coppola's five Oscars and numerous movie stills are also on view.
Visitors can taste and purchase wines in the tasting rooms, including the estate's flagship wine Rubicon as well as Niebaum-Coppola Estate Wines, Edizione Pennino Zinfandel, Francis Coppola Director's Reserve Wines, Diamond Series Claret, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel and Chardonnay, and Francis Coppola Presents Bianco and Rosso. Mammarella Organic Pasta Sauce is made from Coppola's own recipe and his growing line of specialty foods also includes a Merlot vinaigrette made from his own wine. The tasting rooms are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Estate tours are available to the public daily at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on a first come-first serve basis. To arrange for a group tour or tasting, please call 707-968-1100.
Our 2005 CASK Cabernet has layers of ripe, red cherries, plum, vanilla, cocoa, and toast. The wine is remarkable now, especially if served with intensely flavored meats or cheeses, but it also can be aged for 10 years or more. This is a monumental vintage for CASK.
