Inglenook Rutherford Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Country: Rutherford, USA

Grape: 98.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Merlot

Tasting Note:

Excellent canopy growth protected the fruit during the short stints of summer heat that led to 2020's early veraison.

Harvest for this wine was fairly compressed, beginning with the Boardwalk Merlot block on September 7th, and concluding with Red Barn Clone 337 on September 28th.

Practicing organic farming since the 1980's, Inglenook was one of the first Napa Valley vineyards to be certified organic in 1994.

Experimentation is embedded in Inglenook's DNA, and within this ongoing evaluation, considerations of climate change, vine age, vintage and other factors reiterate that an estate of Inglenook's caliber and quality is forever a work-in-progress.
