The Cornelious Reserve |
First Release: April 2011 Vintage: 2008 Only 40 cases remain |
In it's first 5 years, Inwood cultivated a large following around it's 2 Estate-Level wines: the Tempranillo-Cabernet and the Cornelious 100% Tempranillo. We will continue to produce these wines on an annual basis and we are grateful for the enthusiastic response these wines continue to receive in the marketplace. Today, however, Inwood is continuing it's transition toward producing mostly Limited-Production and Artisan wines that the world has not yet seen. We established this part of our business plan from the beginning with the extremely small lot production of Palomino-Chardonnay. More recently, we continued this tier of wines with the Magellan, which so far, has been made in only 2 of the last 9 vintages. Next we added to our Limited lineup with the Cornelious Reserve. Each wine we add to our Limited and Artisan series must have a distinct "reason for being" and display significant and different qualities from our "Regular" wines to gain a place in this exclusive club. The Cornelious Reserve is a much DARKER and BLACKER Tempranillo than the Regular. It stands in distinct contrast to the brighter red-fruit strawberry-raspberry of the regular Cornelious and contains a very complex tannin structure not typically associated with Tempranillo. The 2008 vintage yielded just over 100 cases of the Reserve. There has been only 1 Cornelious Reserve in 9 vintages. |
