+--- Thread: 1967 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon (/thread-2207.html)
- Vinlore - 01-01-2003
I have several bottles of this 1967 Inglenook Cabernet in excellent condition. Any idea what a bottle is worth ?
Thanks,
Vinlore

1967 was a pretty good vintage year. At 35 years of age I would not expect much, but who knows, with impeccible storage they may be drinkable.

The original Inglenook wines had quite a reputation for their longevity. As Bucko says though, storage is key. Stored properly over the years, they could still not only be drinkable, but still tannic as well as possibly an enjoyable experience. My suggestion is to open one up and try it.

Hi Vinlore and welcome to the board. I discreetly disagree with Buckos' asessment of the 67 Calif vintage. It was as they say in France "A workable Vintage". Made for good drinking for about the 1st 10 years. I had a box of the 67 Inglenook "Cask" wine which before all the hyperbole was their designated "Reserve" bottling. As I've gotten rid of my tasting notes from the 60s' and 70s' going on memory, I think I drank ther last bottle of any of my 67s' which was the Heitz Marthas' in 86 and in a retrospective tasting I held of every Marthas' from the 1st bottling of the 66 thru 75 the 67 came in dead last. So think the Inglenook was surely gone long before that. Try one as suggested and if you be lucky, mite be a good drink. WW
