Zinfandel 1977

A beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick/ orange rim.

Still very fruity on the nose with blackberries, blueberries, sweet cherries, figs, spices, cedar, vanilla, earth, leather, licorice, eucalyptus, pencil lead, black olives, dark chocolates, coffee, coke, spices and black pepper. What a great nose.

Medium plus in body, and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, earth, licorice, cloves, herbs, wet leaves, vinaigrette, vegetables, dark chocolates, graphites, dark coffee, Indian spices and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with very little tannins and tangy strawberries.

This is a great experience. A very interesting Zinfandel from an iconic Winery in Napa Valley. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food.

This 41 year old is still showing lots of fruits with great complexity. Very gentle and soft on the palate. Great mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and died after 2.5 hours of airtime, so drink up. Soft tannins came out after 2 hours of airtime.

13% (unbelievable) alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Pinot Noir 2006

Rumor has it that the cuttings of SH came from Inglenook, which ultimately came from DRC. Interesting theory. SH has always been an odd duck in Napa. Spring Mt Pinot, that is muscle and elegance in one package. So I'm going with it... Beautiful wine. Elegant and powerful at the same time. Loads of red currant, Asian 5 spice and rose oil. Pure aromas and fruit. Perfumed, exotic and texturally sleek. Minor alc on the finish, but I've tasted many hotter Burgs. What most new world Pinots wish to be! — 10 years ago

Cask G-26 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1972

1972 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon "Limited Cask" Cask 60. At 46 years old, this wine is holding up remarkably well. Nice dark ruby color with little to no browning on the edge. Soft cherry-like aroma with a light cedar note. Firm acidity with cherry fruit. Great texture on the palate. Fruit lingers well into the finish. Not drying out at all. Classic older Inglenook Cab. Perfect now, if well cellared. — 7 years ago

Hey Bill. I have a 1990 Inglenook. We’ll wait for you to call while in Chicago and pop it with you.

Hey Gillette, Thanks for the offer. I don't get to Chicago as much as I use to. The winery (Steele) has a regional sales manager who works the Illinois market. I spend most of my travel time on the east coast. But, when I do get to Chicago, I'll definitely give you a call. I'd love to taste the 1990, but I'm sure that it's still young (if well cellared).
