Vintage Notes
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.
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is striking in appearance, with its garnet color and youthful
purple edge. The wine reveals vibrant expressions of crushed cherry, cedar, and red currant,
as well as suggestions of forest floor and bay leaf. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied,
exhibiting both considerable energy and elegance. Every glass of Inglenook Cabernet
Sauvignon recalls the more than 140 years of Cabernet Sauvignon creation at Inglenook,
taking you through the Chateau and its rich winemaking history that continues today.
