The 2021 Vintage:
Welcome rain fell in January and March, nourishing Inglenook’s soil for a healthy bud break. Warmer May temperatures advanced bloom, leading to exceptional Summer growing conditions. Small canopies aided slow and steady sugar accumulation, resulting in a modest yield of exquisite quality. All fruit was hand-harvested between September 1st and October 5th. Practicing organic farming since the 1980’s, Inglenook is one of the first Napa Valley vineyards to be certi¬fied 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.
Tasting notes:
This wine boasts a beautifully concentrated red fruit characteristic. The wine’s vibrancy is complemented by a long and satisfying finish, where lingering acidity adds to the overall palate experience. Subtle notes of oak introduce a nuanced complexity to the wine, enhancing its depth. The tannins, elegantly structured, contribute to the wine’s overall refinement.
