Reviews of 1992 Rubicon Estate (Niebaum-Coppola) Rubicon Proprietary Blend now considered an “Old & Rare” wine.

December 1996


The 1992 Rubicon possesses a dark, opaque ruby/purple color, followed by a clean, ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, licorice, oak and earth.  Concentrated, spicy and medium to full-bodied, this is a complete and harmonious style of Rubicon that can be drunk now or cellared for 20 years

Beautifully crafted, dark, rich, dense and chewy, with a concentrated core of currant, earth, pencil lead, anise and black cherry. Tight and youthful, with excellent depth and structure, this is a remarkably thick, intense and vibrant wine that appears to have a long life ahead.--'92 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2008.
