Realm Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX 2018 750mL

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell Vineyard is sourced from two blocks at the top of Realm's estate vineyard in Stags Leap planted with Grace Clone Cabernet. These were the parcels that were previously used for Hartwell's T5 Cabernet, hence the name. Deep, pliant and super-expressive, the 2018 is positively stellar today. Mocha, espresso, licorice, spice and gravel infuse the 2018 with notable gravitas and character. It will be fascinating to see how this site is developed in the future. An additional eight acres or so are due to be planted in the near future with a collection of heritage clones." - Vinous, AG98, 1/2021
