Notes | |||
"The nose abounds with black berry, dark red cherry, dry earth and dusty warm stones. Nice weight in the mid palate builds through layers of fruit, candied cherry, warm caramel and espresso. The Howell Mountain tannin profile is pronounced, yet well integrated and precise. This expression of Hershey should age effortlessly for 13-18 years and reward those who can hold on for longer." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Graphite, crushed rocks, smoke, melted road tar, black fruit and incense explode from the glass in the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard. A huge, structured wine, the 2011 boasts stunning depth, power and richness. The intense salinity of the vintage and the trademark Dana intensity of fruit meld together in a Cabernet of true distinction. What a gorgeous wine this is. This is the first vintage to incorporate more than the original first acre of plantings. The first vintages were pure clone 1 Cabernet, while subsequent vintages include See clone fruit as well. The 2011 was fermented in barrel and spent 21 months in oak, 100% new." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media "Amazing aromas of blackberries, blueberries, mushrooms and violets. Full body with a dense, precise palate and a firm, intense finish. Masculine but formed and polished. This needs at least four or five years to come even more together." —James Suckling |
