2018 Signature Mountain Blend
97 Points Int'l Wine Report
Explosive elegance. Estate excellence. The 2018 Signature Mountain Blend is Hertelendy’s closest expression to an estate wine, crafted primarily from our ultra-premium Rockwell Ridge Vineyard—planted in 1993 at the top of Crystal Springs AVA. This bold blend of 60% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and small portions of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc also features ultra-premium fruit from Atlas Peak, Coombsville, and Silverado Bench. With limited production and soaring critical acclaim—hailed as “The Petrus of Napa Valley” — this powerful, expressive wine is ready to make a grand entrance from our estate to your cellar. Impress your wine connoisseur friends with this mind-blowing, small production (188 cases produced) wine they’ve surely never had before!
2018 was an extraordinary year (the BEST vintage of the decade according to Ralph — see video below) — we had the most predictable weather conditions with no heat spikes which resulted in THE longest hangtime on the vines, like a slowly roasted marshmallow. After losing half of our fruit in 2017 to the wildfires, we were ecstatic that our 2018 harvest was truly our comeback vintage showcasing our volcanic terroir and signature winemaking style.
