"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon T5 is virtually all Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of charcoal, graphite, red and black fruits, an opaque purple color, a beautiful silky texture and full-bodied opulence. This is an epic effort from this fabulous vintage for Bordeaux varieties in Napa Valley. The wine needs 2-5 years of bottle age and should drink well for 30+ years. This estate is now owned by Realm Cellars principals Benoit Touquette, Juan Mercado and Scott Becker with consulting work by Michel Rolland. These are the finest wines I have ever tasted from the Hartwell Vineyards and the mini-vertical at the winery authoritatively proved that."
