the story of inglenook
Inglenook is one of Napa Valley's most iconic estates. Founded in 1879 by the visionary Gustave Niebaum, who brought vines from Bordeaux to California, the estate enjoyed a golden age in the first half of the 20th century and was later revived by Francis Ford Coppola, who restored the estate to its former glory. The Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to John Daniel Jr., the winemaker behind the legendary 1941 Inglenook Cabernet, one of the most celebrated wines in Napa Valley history.
the terroir of Rutherford
The vineyards for this Cabernet Sauvignon are spread across the estate in Rutherford, including the Niebaum Lane, Chateau, Creek North, and Garden blocks. Rutherford is famous for its "Rutherford dust," a term that refers to the fine, dusty tannins that give wines from this region their distinctive character. The soils consist of alluvial deposits with gravel and clay, which ensures optimal drainage and rich complexity. The Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, contributes to the ripeness and aromatic intensity of the grapes.
the grapes and the 2022 harvest
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1.5% Petit Verdot. The growing season began with beneficial rainfall in the fall of 2021, but ultimately proved drier than expected. Thanks to the stored nutrients and healthy canopies, the grapes were able to ripen fully and evenly. Harvest began on September 1st with the blocks surrounding the Chateau and concluded in late September with the Red Barn plots. The result is a vintage that combines power with finesse and balance.
vinification and maturation
After being harvested by hand, the grapes were carefully selected and fermented in small batches. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 48% new and 52% neutral. This aging strengthens the structure and imparts subtle notes of vanilla and spice, while preserving the fruity character. The wine was bottled in July 2024, ready to mature into a classic example of Rutherford Cabernet.
color, smell and taste
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of black currant, forest fruits, and a hint of vanilla and baking spice. On the palate, it reveals layers of black cherry and red fruit, complemented by cedar and subtle earthy notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full, with firm yet polished tannins and a silky texture. The Wine Advocate noted that this wine is more powerful and muscular than the 2022 Rubicon, with more tannin and extraction, but without coarseness. The finish is long and lively, carried by fresh acidity.
reviews and storage potential
The Wine Advocate awarded the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon 94 points. Critic Joe Czerwinski praised the wine for its dark fruit expression, muscular style, and refined tannin structure. Its aging potential is between 2026 and 2045, making it suitable for both young and long-term enjoyment. Compared to Rubicon, this cuvée offers more power and concentration, while Rubicon is known for its extreme refinement and elegance.

Inglenook's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is darker and denser than the 2022 Rubicon, delivering waves of black cherries and dusty earth. Possessing a more muscular style, boasting more tannin and more extraction, it's medium- to full-bodied, silky and velvety in texture and really does well to avoid any sense of coarseness, although it may not be quite as long on the finish as the Rubicon.
Francis Ford Coppola's palatial wine estate is a reminder of Napa Valley's first golden age, yet the property has been updated in nearly every way imaginable. Replanting to replaced virused vines continues apace, phased in so as to not unduly disrupt production. The new cave-winery was completed in time for the 2022 harvest, which started September 1 and wrapped up by the end of the month. Some of the vineyard blocks have overhead sprinklers—primarily for frost protection, but they were pressed into service to moderate temperatures—and harvesting continued right through the heat.
During our tasting at the estate, winemaker Jonathan Tyer compared the two main red wines: "Rubicon is the best expression of the Rutherford Bench—behind the house—while the Cab is the best expression of the entire estate. Rubicon tends to be extremely refined and balanced—density and structure but still elegance and balance. The Cab, once you start blending in the heavier soils, the wines tend to be more powerful and the tannins are more coarse."
The samples of the 2023 wines—expected to be bottled in May 2025—were even more impressive. Following a cold, wet winter and a late bud break, harvest started October 3 and finished October 25, the latest Tyer has seen at the property. "It was perfect," he said. "We had a nice, long growing season." Tyer is also enthusiastic about the 2024s.
Although produced in smaller volumes, don't overlook the white wines here. The Sauvignon Blanc comes from the front of property, the rows closest to Highway 29. Planted in 2011 to six different clones, Tyer is partial to Clone 530, which he says is bright and tropical, while still holding on to its acidity. The Rhône whites for Blancaneaux—Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne—are grown in hillier western sections of the property.
Only light press goes into the white wines, with Tyer and his team carefully watching pH and phenolics at pressing. Fermentation and maturation is in a mix of oak puncheons and stainless steel drums, with about 25% new French oak for Blancaneaux and only 18% for the Sauvignon Blanc. The whites then spend six to eight months on the lees, building texture to balance the crisp, natural acidity.

This is serious with a deep dark-fruited character, notes of iodine, black olives, charred bark, smoky flint and raw mushrooms. Full-bodied, so refined and polished with an array of ultra-fine, silky tannins that lasts for minutes. Broad and encompassing with a long finish. Hints of sea shell, iron and umami. Extremely well-made. Better after 2026.

Inglenook is a famous winery located in California and is known as one of the best wineries in the whole world. The Inglenook winery is 130 years old and has produced only quality wines over the years. To illustrate the high quality of this winery, a nice quote from Gustave Niebaum from 1890 can be used: "I do not intend to make money from my vineyards by producing a lot of cheap wine. I want to make a California wine that is sought after by connoisseurs and can be just as high a price as wines from France, Germany or Spain and I am willing to spend all my money for this result ".
The current production of the domain Inglenook reassembles the production that the wine domain had in its 'Golden era' under the direction of John Daniel. Since Francis Ford Coppola bought the estate, the institution has been the same as it was between 1934 and 1964, pride is above profit and pride is certainly there. The wines made at Inglenook are among the best wines in the world and each year the wines receive high ratings from wine connoisseurs. The organic growing methods used by John Daniel are now being used again, so contraceptives are no longer used to protect the Inglenook vineyards and high quality grapes are being grown again, such as the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Petit Verdot and the Cabernet Franc.
