critic reviews
Inglenook's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon combines notes of cherries, dusty earth, fine suede and a delicate herbal nuance on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is framed by silky-textured tannins. Long and mouthwatering on the finish, this is an unusually finesse-driven example of the property's Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty big step up from the 2022 tasted alongside it. Dark and vibrant in the glass, with terrific depth, the 2021 offers a very good balance of juiciness and structure. Blackberry, graphite, sage, lavender and menthol lend savory energy throughout.
Still in barrel in February 2025, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts dark notes of cedar mulch, earth, black olives and black cherries. It's medium- to full-bodied, velvety and intensely flavored, with a long, earthy and savory finish. It shows excellent balance, along with unusually refined tannins for the Cabernet Sauvignon, which can sometimes be a bit coarse when compared to the Rubicon.
