Note di degustazione
From a 35-acre estate site on Howell Mountain near the Jackson Family's W.S. Keyes Vineyard, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard features complex aromas of barrel toast (the single-vineyard offerings here all see 100% new French oak), blackberries and blueberries, plus hints of pine, sage and bay. It's richly concentrated, even a touch muscular, with a long, tannic finish. Give it several more years in the cellar, and drink it over the next two decades.

A brawny, burly Cabernet, with a seriously grippy structure supporting a core of roasted alder and cedar, steeped black currant, bitter plum and singed bay leaf. Gains tang and drive on the finish, thanks to sanguine and iron notes. A mountain man wine. Best from 2025 through 2037. 404 cases made.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard is just about pure perfection and is another heavenly Cabernet from this team. Gorgeous red, blue, and black fruits, spice, smoked tobacco, and dried herbs give way to a full-bodied, deep, rich, powerful 2019 that has velvety tannins and a rounded, opulent mouthfeel. It's not as structured or tannic as the Lotus, but this will nevertheless benefit from another 3-4 years of bottle age, and while it's already impossible to resist, it should evolve for 30+ years.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard is stellar. It possesses remarkable density and huge power, all in a mid-weight frame. Graphite, blue/purplish fruit, menthol, sage and lavender race across the palate, framed by bright, salivating acids and plenty of Howell Mountain tannin. Even with all its intensity, the Hershey remains medium in body and supremely elegant. This has really come along since bottling. Magnificent!
