Inglenook
Edizione Pennino Rutherford Zinfandel
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Monthly wine group meet up. This month's theme was non-typical reds from Napa. Wines were tasted blind. Always a great time. 👌
This was my contribution for the evening. I found out last year that Inglenook made a zin and really enjoyed it. Nose was filled with vanilla and raspberries. Oak wasn't huge, and there was a great medley of fruit going on in here with blueberries being dominant. Balanced. One of two wines that nobody guessed the varietal correctly.

This vintage continues the evolution to a fresher, more elegant style, but retaining the polish of new oak and evenly ripe fruit. Not as edgy or expressive as some new wave Zins, but always a class act.
