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

1hr+ 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.

Had the 2014- was great. Recommend decanting as there was a good amount of sediment. Opened up nicely after about an hour.. glad I got a case!

Ripe fruits, big red with lots of tannin but melts in your mouth.

Dark and brooding from initial pop-n-pour through 5 hours of air. A dense layer of black fruits and earthy notes dominate the palate, and leave me wishing for a little lift. This is a significant step down from Hartwell's Reserve cab.

Just gorgeous. 5th we've opened from the case. Starting to bloom beautifully. Bright red cherries, black berries, tobacco, a touch of leather. Wonderful compliment to a gorgeous Wagyu ribeye
