1882 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
In 1975, Francis and Elanor Coppola purchased the famous Inglenook estate when searching for a vacation cottage. Inglenook was one of the first wineries in Napa, located in Rutherford, owned by former sea captain Gustave Niebaum. The Coppola’s have spent decades reuniting the property with the original land and this 1882 is a tribute to Captain Niebaum’s first harvest. This is a great wine because it is approachable in price and quality. It has a meaty nose with a rare steak aroma infused with peppery blackberries and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are soft and woven well into the fruit. It all culminates to a smooth balanced finish.
