Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Wow! What a big bold and well integrated wine. Herbal notes intertwined with rich dark berries, dried fruits, and sweet vanilla make this a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Super well balanced and perfectly structured, this is a wine built for immediate enjoyment and long term cellaring. Enjoy 2015-2040. 94 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
This robust Californian red wine is named in honour of the first vintage that Inglenook's founder Gustave Niebaum bottled wine. The historic winery building in Napa has been carefully restored by movie director Francis Ford Coppola. The 2012 vintage of the Cabernet Sauvignon is typical Rutherford Cabernet, and makes for a good cellar candidate. - Community Wine Reviews
