DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The 2016 Hershey exhibits the complexity and minerality that define this mountain vineyard. The wine opens with notes of red currant, blackberries, mingled with notes of espresso, bitter orange zest and dried herbs. The rich mountain tannins frame a creamy entry onto the palate. The wine builds across the palate with flavors of plums, currants, and bitter chocolate that meld with hints of sage, forest floor and an intriguing salinity. The vibrancy makes the wine enticing now, thought it will age gracefully through 2036.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard fermented 77% in oak tanks, 16% in barrels and 7% in concrete. It spent 21 to 33 days on the skins and aged 27 months in French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it delivers very serious, classic cassis, cedar chest, pencil shavings and warm plums notes with nuances of lavender, dark chocolate, tobacco and crushed rocks with a waft of black olives. Full-bodied, the palate is solidly structured with firm, chunky tannins and bold freshness supporting the densely packed, muscular fruit, finishing long and mineral-laced.
