TASTING NOTES
Misté Hill is a wine that shows the softer side of the Hartwell Estate. As with all of our wines, the grapes come exclusively from our hillside estate. During the aging process, we make a selection of those barrels that show brightness of fruit, soft tannins, and approachability. The wine is blended, racked, and bottled without fining or filtration. The goal is to create a wine that can be opened and enjoyed immediately upon release.
The 2004 Misté Hill showcases the ripe, rich character of the vintage. Low yields in the vineyard, combined with warm temperatures during harvest, produced wines with richness, soft tannins, and great intensity of fruit. The wine is pure California, with notes of baked fruits, confiture, caramel and vanilla. The soft, subtle texture on the palate will appeal to those looking for immediate gratification!
