Inglenook
On Napa Valley’s Rutherford Bench, where warm afternoons meet cool nights and gravelly soils lend structure, Inglenook in California has pursued the idea of a grand estate since 1879.
Founded by Gustave Niebaum and later painstakingly reunited under Coppola stewardship, the property reclaimed the Inglenook name in 2011. Winemaking under Philippe Bascaules—shaped by Bordeaux experience—leans toward finesse, balance and layered detail rather than sheer power.
Organic certification dating back to the 1990s and a vineyard-first mindset show up in the way each block is handled: lots are kept separate through fermentation, then assembled with patience after long élevage. A modern facility built for parcel integrity makes that philosophy concrete. The result is estate Cabernet architecture with a Rutherford accent—measured, precise and built to evolve.Inglenook
