Hartwell Vineyards
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Beautiful!! Big, lush, mouth -filling, just like a Napa Cabernet should be. Hartwell does no wrong.

Feb 17th, 20151hr+ decant. Red, maroon, prune color. Dark stewed fruit with some floral elements on the nose. Nose and flavor weren’t connected. Wine was pretty one dimensional with no real standout characteristics. Medium minus depth and finish. Not bad, had higher expectations.
