Close96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc
The Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to winemaker John Daniel Jr., who produced the much-heralded Inglenook 1941 Cabernet Sauvignon from vine cuttings brought to the property from Bordeaux by original founder Gustave Niebaum.
A classic expression of the famed Rutherford Bench, this wine honors the tradition of Inglenook winemaking and celebrates the innovation we strive for as we carry this tradition into the future.
Inglenook Wine Estate History
Gustave Niebaum bought the Inglenook property in 1879 and continued to acquire smaller parcels of neighboring land over the next several years. In doing so, he created an estate totaling to 1,100 contiguous acres. Construction on the chateau (pictured above) begun a few years later in 1881 and takes six years to complete.
John Daniel Jr., Niebaum's grandnephew, assumed management of Inglenook in 1939. Inglenook wines win the most number of awards of any California winery at San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition. Daniel sells Inglenook—its brand name, Chateau winery, and close to 100 acres of vineyards—to United Vintners in 1964.
Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchased a portion of what had been the Inglenook estate in 1975. The Coppolas soon discovered the treasure of what they now own and vow to reunite all of the land and to restore Inglenook's esteemed reputation. The first step is establishing their own winery, which they called Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery.
With patient resolve and relentless negotiations over nearly four decades, the Coppolas fulfilled the vow they made in 1975. First by reuniting the property in 1995 and now, in 2011, acquiring Inglenook's name and trademark. Philippe Bascaules of Chateau Mârgaux becomes Inglenook's Director of Winemaking.
The next chapter in Inglenook’s story begins as construction was completed on a new state-of-the-art winemaking facility dedicated to Francis Coppola's mother. Occupying close to 23,000 square feet and designed to accommodate 120 fermenting tanks–-one for each respective vineyard block–- the winemaking team can maintain the integrity of each individual block's character when crafting Inglenook wines.
