Winemaker Notes
The 1999 Estate Merlot has the deepest indigo color of any Merlot we have ever made which is indicative of a very ripe vintage. Dense cocoa, spice and red berry aromas lift from the glass. The palate is loaded with intense raspberry and plum. The finish is rich and intense with a smooth viscous feel. The 1999 Estate Merlot will age beautifully over the next ten to fifteen years.

Spectator
In 1879, Finnish explorer and adventurer Gustave Niebaum searched the Napa Valley with the goal of establishing a wine estate to rival the finest chateau of France. For decades his wines won acclaim and remain some of the most admired in American wine history's classic period. By the mid-1960's, his property was divided, and estate-wine production ceased.
A decade later, Francis Ford Coppola purchased 1,500 acres of this historic property and revived Captain Niebaum's fine winemaking tradition. In 1995, Niebaum-Coppola acquired the remainder of the property and restored the Inglenook Estate to its original dimensions.
