Description

Inglenook’s unequaled pedigree rests on the acclaimed reputation of our Cabernet Sauvignon blends, in particular Rubicon. The Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the core foundation of the blend, bringing rarely matched fruit purity, concentration, and silky structure to our most prized wine.

The Creek Vineyard is located in the Northern boundaries of our organically farmed estate. The soil is a mix of gravel, sand, and alluvial sediments that provide the perfect drainage for the old vines of our Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Selection.

This lot is aged separately for 20 months in small, 100% new French Oak barrels, medium toasted only in order to preserve its fruit quality.

The Inglenook Creek Vineyard Cabernet 2013 has fragrant notes of fresh blackberry, blueberry, violet and vanilla. It is a soft, round full bodied cabernet balanced with flavors of black fruit, wet rock, rose and cinnamon and a long finish driven by beautiful acidity.
