2020 Hanzell Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon

Price: $125.00

Summary

Complex and lovely on the nose, aromatic notes of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, anise, baking spices, worn leather and forest floor emanate. The palate reflects the complexity of the nose and brings forth raspberry, boysenberry, juicy dark plum and woodsy herbs. Eminently drinkable in its’ youth, the beautifully integrated yet structured tannins and balanced acidity offer plenty of structure to make this a wine worthy of aging for years to come.

95 points | James Suckling

The nose shows an array of blue and black fruit, with underlying notes of violets, mulberries and cloves. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with ﬁnely integrated tannins, bright acidity and notes of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves and cedar. A very polished wine from a tough vintage, made from a blend of 86% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc, 6% malbec and 2% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.— J.S.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a very good wine, especially for the year. Dark, savory and inviting, this is a terriﬁc example of an Old-World style on Moon Mountain. Dried herbs, tobacco, incense and licorice meld into a core of intense dark fruit. The heat of the vintage is evident, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced. — Antonio Galloni

92 points | Wine Enthusiast

This mountain Cabernet is very expressive and compelling on the nose, with aromas of spiced-plum jam, licorice and tobacco jumping from the glass. The palate is a balance between soft macerated cherry and plum ﬂavors, plush tannin and nervy acidity. Drink 2028 to 2040 with a grilled steak. — Tom Capo

91 points | Decanter Magazine

The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Though it's a blend of thick-skinned, heavier varieties here, the wine drinks very light. Hanzell sits at 340m in elevation, but the wines from this vineyard range in elevation from 150m to 350m, and that variance of elevation is apparent in the wine, with both forward-facing concentrations of stewed black and blue fruits as well as more subdued ﬂavours and aromas of damp earth and petrichor. I would be excited to taste the evolution of this wine in ﬁve to seven years. — J’Nai Gaither
