| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 3/9/2024 & rated 92 points: Dinner get together at Old Holland. Drank in Riedel Bordeaux.
Appearance is clear, very deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of chocolate oak, cassis, ripe red bell pepper. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), smooth velvety high tannins, very full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with aromas of chocolate, blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plums, cedarwood, milky oak, spicy red bell pepper. Big long finish.
Very good quality. Just slightly shy of the jammy blockbuster type of Napa wine. Needs a few years for the oak to integrate or drink young if you like em big and oaky.
Day 3 update: Sweet spice plus bitter coffeebean. Not a good combi. (486 views) | | | Tasted by Twopawsup on 12/31/2023 & rated 91 points: Deep Ruby color with slow legs. Very youthful wine still struggling to open up after a two hour decant. Lots of green pepper on the nose with some boysenberry and oak in the background. Black cherry, plum and licorice on the palate. Medium leathery finish. Rating may improve with age and would recommend holding for a few more years if in the cellar. (508 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 2/11/2023 & rated 94 points: Black fruit, red fruit, spice, tobacco, cedar, cocoa, leather, finishes balanced. A-/A(93-94). (1396 views) | | | Tasted by kostaslonis on 9/12/2022: Aiolos En Primeur Tasting (Aiolos HQ): + 4% Cabernet Franc
The wine shows ripeness of fruit, red and black fruit, cherry, berry, spicy, cinnamon freshness but also elegant, bold but not tiresome
Palate showing density, coffee notes, chocolate, oak tannins, med acidity, full on fruit, full body, long finish.
Quite youthful for now (853 views) | | | Tasted by Norm510 on 6/11/2022 & rated 88 points: Dense ruby color.
Nose is raspberries, fudge, tobacco, blueberry, forest floor
Medium tannins, nicely firm mouthfeel. Had to wait for it to give up some fruit. After a 2 hours decant some tart red fruit emerged, sour cherry maybe - quite fleeting. Good length and intensity.
Too young still, has lots of potential based on it's older siblings. (1805 views) |

| Inglenook Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Rutherford Rutherford,
