2019 Rubia Proprietary Red Napa Valley

Margaret and Joe Valenzuela founded Rubia Wine Cellars as a tribute to their love and deep desire to become a part of the winemaking world. The winery focuses on limited-production wines and strong friendships, allowing them access to renowned vineyards.

To pursue their vision, Margaret and Joe enlisted Julien Fayard as their winemaker, who had previously worked at much-heralded French vineyards such as Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte before relocating to the United States, assuming the role of Director of Winemaking under Philippe Melka. 

The 2019 production yielded 200 cases of powerful and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon from hillside vineyards in Calistoga and Howell Mtn blended with 45% Coombsville AVA Merlot. The wine matured for 20 months in French oak before release and is now drinking beautifully with a long, resonant finish.

“The 2019 Red Blend is plush, dark and wonderfully inviting. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice are all kicked up in this juicy, potent Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. Soft contours add to the wine’s immediacy and allure.”

Margaret and Joe Valenzuela founded Rubia Wine Cellars as a tribute to their love and a deep desire to become a part of the winemaking world. They built strong friendships throughout Napa and Sonoma, allowing them access to renowned vineyards like Kent Ritchie’s Vineyard. Considered one of the top locations for Chardonnay in the Russian River Valley, Ritchie Vineyard fruit produces award-winning wines from Aubert, Ramey, DuMOL, and Paul Hobbs.
 
Furthering their dream, Margaret and Joe hired Julien Fayard as their winemaker. Julien worked for Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in France before moving to the US, then became the Director of Winemaking for Philippe Melka. Rubia’s 2019 vintage Chardonnay was fermented in new French oak and kept on the lees for 16 months with a monthly batonnage creating a round, creamy mouthfeel and a long, flavorful finish.

“The Rubia 2019 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay begins with notes of chamomile and honeysuckle with ripe peaches, apricots, marzipan, and vanilla custard. On the palate, the wine has a rich texture and creamy mouthfeel with flavors of honeydew, pear, baking spices, and toasted brioche. The roundness on the palate rolls into a smooth yet bright finish.”
