In the glass, the Hartenberg Merlot displays a rich garnet hue that captivates before the first sip. Its bouquet reveals an intricate harmony of red fruits, luscious dried plums, vibrant cranberries, with earthiness accented by clove and cinnamon spice. On the palate, it delivers a velvety texture, supported by firm yet fine tannins reminiscent of a taut bowstring. Flavors of tart cherries intermingle with notes of vanilla and a subtle savory undertone, creating a complex taste experience. For immediate enjoyment, decanting is recommended, while aging this Merlot for five to fifteen years will showcase its full development and intricacies.
Crafted by the acclaimed winemaker Carl Shultz, whose expertise garnered international accolades: awarded the Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Award in 2004 for the Estate Merlot and the IWSC International Trophy in 2008 for the 2005 vintage, recognized as the world's best Merlot.
