"…intensive, schöne Nase, viel süße, rote Früchte, rote und dunkle Beeren, Cassis und Kirschen, Schoko, wow, extrem komplex, große Struktur und Frische, feine Lakritze- und Tabak-Noten im extrem langen Finale" (09/2024)

"This full-bodied, rich, and lush Cabernet comes from the hilltop parcel of Hartwell Estate within the Moonracer property. Dark cherry and cocoa powder meld with walnut and cherry wood nuances, while firm, elongated tannins provide structure. The mid-palate builds with a creamy richness, finishing with classic Stags Leap volcanic mineral tension. Bold and expressive now, yet with the right balance and tension to age gracefully—this is a wine to cellar from the 2022 vintage." - Jonathan Cristaldi (02/2025)

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX is packed with explosive dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and new leather. Inky and deep, the Hartwell is terrific. Ripe black cherry, plum, incense, licorice and chocolate are all dialed up. The 2022 is extroverted and quite potent.

Coming from the top of the estate property on Wappo Hill (540 feet in elevation), the 2022 Hartwell XX has a brilliant nose of darker currants, violets, orange blossom, and tobacco, with some classic Pauillac-like tobacco and cedar nuances. It's rich, full-bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, and ripe tannins. This beauty isn't going to make you forget the magical 2021, but we're clearly not far off, and this is already upfront and accessible. It will deliver the goods over the coming 15+ years. (01/2025)

The 2022 Hartwell XX Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with a classic nose of blackcurrant cordial, red currant jelly, and pencil shavings, followed by slowly emerging nuances of iris bulb, black olives, and Indian spices. The full-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Only 200 cases were made from this tiny 1.5-acre plot of mature vines. (09/2024)

From a one-acre parcel planted in 1986 to 1987, the harmonious 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX delivers outstanding aromas of black cherries, fine leather and dried spices, including cinnamon, allspice and cardamom. This full-bodied wine has that special Stags Leap District suede-like texture, great concentration and a lingering, elegant finish tinged with dark chocolate.
