The weather, our unique hillside location, and aging in new French oak barrels ensured rich color and fully ripe flavors for our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.</p> <p>The premiere offering from our estate vineyard is a multi-layered, deep, ripe wine with plenty of complexity and generosity. Intense aromas of blackberries, currants, cassis and fig rise up from the glass, marrying with notes of clove, incense, and smoke. The mouth feel is equally as generous, coating the palate with full but soft tannins, and flavors of ripe berries and black cherry. The sensation lingers on the palate, with a classic contribution of French oak and layers of spice and jammy fruit. This wine is approachable now, yet will continue to gain complexity and grace with age.</p> <p><b>REVIEWS</b><br /> "Rich, supple and harmonious, with layers of blackberry, currant and dusty berry fruit shaded by light toasty oak and supported by firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins. Needs time for the cedary oak to works its way into the center, but should be superb in a couple of years. Best from 2007 through 2012."</p> <p style="text-align: right;">-- <i>Wine Spectator</i>, June 30, 2005</p> <p>Appellation: Stag's Leap District<br /> Vineayrds: 100% Estate Grown<br /> Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon<br /> Produced: 740 cases</p></P> <P> <LI>Bottle Size: 750ml; 1.5L</P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Category2" TITLE="Library Wines">Library Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product8 TITLE="2001 100% Cabernet Sauvignon">2001 100% Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- Divine Cabernet Sauvignon <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product28 TITLE="2001 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Etched Magnum">2001 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Etched Magnum</A> -- 1.5 L Magnum Etched, Hand Painted, signed and Numbered <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product15 TITLE="2003 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon">2003 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- Dark and flavorful, with freshness and natural balance that is pure Stags Leap. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product29 TITLE="2003 Estate Merlot MAGNUM">2003 Estate Merlot MAGNUM</A> -- Limited production jewel in Magnum! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product31 TITLE="2004 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon">2004 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- Rich, dark and complex, with soft tannins and mouth-filling flavor. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product18 TITLE="2004 Miste' Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Blend">2004 Miste' Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Blend</A> -- Estate blend from a lovely vintage </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell" TITLE="Hartwell Vineyards Products">Hartwell Vineyards Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.hartwellvineyards.com">Hartwell Vineyards</A> <BR>Hartwell Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
