Cassis, raspberry, pencil shavings, dark chocolate, cement dust. Surprisingly fresh on the palate, should continue to improve over the next five+ years. 92-93 pts

Consistent with my prior note. Lighter style (for Napa) that paired well with food.

IMO ready to drink now. I liked the restrained style (for Napa), was great with steak and vegetables.

Not expecting too much after reading the reviews. 4 hour decant. Open nose. Not tannic but good mouthfeel with lots of fruit. Length better than expected. 1st of 3. No rush to drink. I’ll keep the others a while.

The 2017 Inglenook Cabernet is a very not so typical Cali Cab. I popped and I poured, and I sipped a very nice wine. It is not a fruit bomb, nor is it a tannin bomb either. It is medium bodied, and has just the right amount of everything. Cellaring another two years may improve this wine, but it is excellent right now. Is it worth $55 a bottle? Definitely.

2 hour decant; a lighter style of Cabernet, showing less richness and fruit and more acidity. Cherries, black tea, cigar box, a hint of green stemminess. Tannins still kicking pretty hard as well. Will leave my last bottle alone for another couple of years. Drink 2024-2032+.

Dry with very little to no berries or tannins. A good selection if you’re looking for a mild mannered Napa that isn’t jammy or berry forward.

A matter of taste 2023 - Day 2 : *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory *** Glass: Stölzle Universal Suprisingly elegant and balanced compared to the Stag's leap wines. Fresh, elegant, fine tannin, medium+ acidity, good length. Love this style. 91+

On the nose, nice fruit profile with some earthiness and some green. alc at 14% but was burning through on the first few sniffs. On the palate, relatively balance, high acidity, light, alc is much more resolved, tannin is fine. Enjoyable wine. Not your typical Napa cab.

Great wine. Built to age. Needed to lay down a few more years. Decanted 2 hours.

Lacking in depth. Opened up a bit after an hour or so, but expect more at this price point.

Bright black fruit, medium tannin, like my finish, opens up over time

Got half of bottle from a friend after his Zoom tasting. Black fruit, plum, tobacco, Chinese tea, the aroma is nice and the palate is good. Easy drinking after enough breathing. The downside is the finishing, a bit too short.
