The 2019 Signature Mountain Blend from Hertelendy is sensational. Composed of 62% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this begins to impress as it releasees seductive aromatics of ripe dark currants, crème de cassis and blueberries along with fresh violets, pencil shavings, wild sage brush and exotic spices. On the palate this is full-bodied, with a gorgeous rich, opulent texture that is beautifully balance by a lovely touch of underlying acidity keeping it fresh and inviting all the way through the long enveloping finish. Displaying a remarkable combination of both power and precision, the 2019 is a total stunner and should go on to have a marvelous future.
