Realm Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX

Wein aus USA, trocken Verkostnotiz James Suckling:There is a real forest floor character to the aromas with citrus rind and lead pencil shaving. Iodine. Oyster shell. Medium to full bodied with really refined tanins with chasmere texture. First year of this and shows the unique character of this tiny hilltop vineyard in Stag’s Leap AVAl. Drink after 2026. (2022)Verkostnotiz Robert Parker:Realm recently purchased the old Hartwell property, constituting the highest blocks above their already estate-owned Stags Leap District vineyard (the source for Moonracer). The vines planted here originate from budwood acquired by Bob Hartwell (the previous owner) from Dick Grace of Grace Family Vineyards in the 1980s. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX has an irresistibly fragrant nose, opening out to reveal notes of lilacs, Indian spices and fragrant soil over a core of blackcurrant jelly, boysenberries and licorice with a hint of beef drippings. The palate is a big, rich, full-bodied behemoth, with the most gorgeous velvety tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and opulent.
