Harkness Edwards Vineyards

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Mar 26, 2017

Harkness Edwards tasting room is open again (our first visit was right after the fire, we were unaware and they were closed). Glad we got to visit - well worth the wait! All the wines are fantastic, and the tasting room is beautiful with friendly servers. Don't pass this gem up if your in the area.

Favorite Wine: 'Night Heron' Norton

Norton Wine Review: What a surprise HEV 2009 Norton wine. Norton, a grape cultivar believed to be largely derived from Vitis aestivalis, is grown mainly in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic States, but this new Kentucky vineyard endeavor nailed it with their ‘Night Heron’ release. All the balanced varietally correct attributes of the Norton grape are presented in this full-bodied, fruit forward, peppery, with spicy earthed overtones wine. The dark ruby colored ”Night Heron’ is as good as the best Nebbiolo (small Baja California winery) I’ve ever tasted and compares well with the better California Zinfandels. Any problems, ~ yes. I only bought two bottles on my visit. I’m truly pissed. [Old Barn setting in the middle of a field with no bathrooms. Be forewarned]. Did I mention their Viognier? Spot on. // From their web site: "Due to a fire that destroyed our winery and inventory, our wine is currently out of stock. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to have the wine back on the market soon."
