2015 Hertlendy Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
In July 2017, vintner Ralph blended the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, likening it to a blend of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Montrose, with Napa opulence. Aromas include roasted coffee, blackcurrant, and fresh violets. The palate reveals dark fruit, rose petals, and espresso crème brûlée, culminating in a long, velvety finish. Despite challenges, 2015 yielded our best wine yet!
Wine Advocate
Hertelendy's inky purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a lifted blackberry and cassis nose with nuances of cedar, tobacco and bouquet garni plus scents of chargrilled meat and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, with good concentration in the mouth and firm, fine-grained tannins, it's expressive and youthful with a long finish.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is also inky purple in color and offers a high-class bouquet of crème de cassis, vanilla bean, white flowers, blueberries and incense. It's full-bodied, deep, multi-dimensional and elegant on the palate, with fine, fine tannin and awesome purity of fruit.
