Special Instructions

Available for local pick up only. Cannot be shipped.


Captain’s Reserve wines are produced in extremely limited quantities each year, exclusively for wine club members and guests of the Estate. They are named in honor of Captain Gustave Niebaum, the visionary who, in the 1880s, founded Inglenook and brought Napa Valley worldwide recognition. Made from organically certified estate grown fruit, our Captain’s Reserve Syrah illustrates the depth and intensity of flavors that have made Rutherford famous, in a style that does not require aging to be enjoyed.

Released every year on Columbus Day, the Edizione Pennino Zinfandel pays homage to Francis’s maternal grandfather, Francesco Pennino. The label design replicates the logo of his music-publishing firm, which translates to “Pennino Editions.” The diamond on the left side depicts the Bay of Naples, Francesco Pennino’s former home and his last  view of Italy. The diamond on the right side is a view of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty, his first glimpse of America, his new home.

This Zinfandel is a always a harmonious expression of rich, succulent fruit and varietal spice.
