Producer Information

Inglenook is a historical property in Rutherford, of California’s Napa Valley. It was established as a vineyard in 1871 and has been owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975. Today, it makes a premium range of wines from classic Napa varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel. In 1879, the 31 hectare (78 acre) estate was purchased by Gustave Nieubaum, as well as an adjoining 178 hectare (440 acre) plot of land. Nieubaum continued to expand Inglenook’s holdings throughout the end of the 19th Century, and the wine was well-received by the public until the advent of Prohibition in 1919. When the Volstead Act was enacted, Inglenook emptied all of its vats and sold off all the grapes in line with the new laws. In 1933, when the act was repealed, production resumed under the leadership of John Daniel, Jr. with great success  – the 1941 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon was one of Wine Spectator’s 12 ‘Wines of the Century’ in 1999.
