Rubicon Estate Winery is the former name of what is once again called Inglenook. The original Inglenook in Rutherford was founded in the late 19th century by the Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum. Then in 1975 the film director Francis Ford Coppola and his wife bought the historic estate, calling it Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery. At the same time Heublein Inc. acquired the Inglenook brand name. From 2006 to 2011 the Coppola’s renamed their estate Rubicon Estate. Following complicated legal and financial negotiations, Coppola acquired the famous Inglenook trademark in 2011, allowing the estate to once again be known as Inglenook. Today the estate’s Rubicon Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine.
