Inglenook
Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Tried twice! Blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits with sweet spices. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and black cherry, subtle spices, vanilla, cacao and oak. Good balance, generous acidity, rich grippy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, Cedar and spice. Will develop well for a decade.

Beautiful wine, as always. Luscious plums, boysenberries, and blackberries. Mulled spices. Licorice. Sage. Cedar shavings. Pencil lead/graphite. Luxardo cherry syrup. Classic Rutherford dust.

Nov 4th, 2020I can’t even rightly place what it is but I just love Inglenook. Perhaps it’s just the downright classic and iconic nature of the wine that keeps me coming back; the mint, the dust, and the sweet, ripe dark fruits. Beautiful nose, lovely palate.

Described as jammy & fruit forward, we didn’t find that to be the case. More, light, slight acidity on the front end with no real pizazz. This one missed the mark for us. At least the sights are amazing...that would be sights of my beautiful queen. I’m blessed.
