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.

Ripe cherries, black plums, cloves, nutmeg and dried herbs on the nose. Bark and dark chocolate on the palate. It’s full-bodied and concentrated with firm, chewy tannins. Long finish with savory walnut notes. Drink from 2024. (01/2021)

A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Hartwell Grace was previously made as Hartwell T5. A deep purple hue is followed by rock star notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, flowers, crushed stone, and licorice. Bright, perfumed, and elegant on the palate, it still packs stunning richness and depth, has integrated background oak, and serious length on the finish. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age but should be long-lived. It's a brilliant wine. (01/2021)

Realm's latest awfully clever move is to purchase the old Hartwell property, constituting the highest blocks above their already estate-owned Stags Leap District vineyard (the source for Moonracer). The vines planted here originate from budwood acquired by Bob Hartwell (the previous owner) from Dick Grace of Grace Family Vineyards in the 1980s. They feel that this label, made exclusively from these upper blocks, "pays tribute to the lineage and history of Napa Valley." Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell (Grace Clone) leaps from the glass with bold blackberries, crushed blackcurrants and wild blueberries scents plus wafts of black cherry compote, oolong tea, red roses and fragrant earth. The palate has beautiful restraint, revealing medium to full-bodied elegance with a very structured, firm, grainy texture and lively freshness, finishing very long with lots of mineral and earth sparks. There is so much latent power waiting to burst out of this wine, I wouldn't be surprised if it warrants a higher score when revisited in 10 years' time.
