Commemorating Gustave Niebaum's first vintage at Inglenook, arguably California's most historic winery, and the centerpiece of Francis Ford Coppola's wine empire (the last bit purchased with the proceeds from Bram Stoker's Dracula), 1882 is produced from estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon and spends 18 months in a combination of French and US oak barrels. Spellbindingly historic.
