2/27/2019 - creativ1 Likes this wine: 87 pointsFiltered/decanted. Some light sediment. Deep purple color but not much on the nose. Medium-heavy body with a little more tartness than I would prefer. Dark berry flavors with a rich mouthfeel and nice long finish. Very good QPR. Just wish there was a little less acid. |

1995 Hartwell Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon SunshineStags Leap District more |
8/17/2016 - creativ1 Likes this wine: 91 pointsOpened for our daughter's 21st birthday and really enjoyed it. Some mushroom on the nose but more leather on the palate with a nice smooth medium finish. Medium to heavy bodied, with a little more fruit than I would have expected after 21 years and soft tannins. Very good! (This was a magnum). |
