Midnight Cellars

Midnight Cellars Winery was founded by the Hartenberger family in May 1995. It was a vacation the family shared in Northern California wine country that inspired the Hartenberger’s to venture into the wine business. The family members all sold their Chicago homes and journeyed to Paso Robles where they started their Midnight Cellars Vineyards vision. Midnight Cellars is home to 28 planted acres in Paso growing quality, low-yield, sustainably farmed Bordeaux grapes as well as Zinfandel and Chardonnay according to our Midnight Cellars wine reviews. However of all the Midnight Cellars wines produced the most heralded by consumers and critics alike are their big Merlots and their “Paso Roblan” blends. With a production of approximately 7,000 cases annually, the 160 acre Midnight Cellars ranch in the western hills of Paso is home to three generations of Hartenbergers. To learn more about these wines be sure to check out our Midnight Cellars wine ratings below.

Midnight Cellars 2006 Nebula Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $24
Raw and common, with excessively sweet, jammy cherry-berry flavors and a bizarre streak of acidity that tastes like it came from a box.  — S.H.  (5/1/2011)

Midnight Cellars 2007 Capriccio Italien Red (Paso Robles)

  • Online Exclusive

Way too ripe, with raisined flavors, including raisin-skin bitterness and alcholic heat on the finish. The dominant variety is Sangiovese.  — S.H.  (4/1/2012)

Midnight Cellars 2007 Aquarius Pinot Noir (Paso Robles)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $33
Tastes raw and overripe, with raisiny flavors. The raisin skin tannins accentuate the grape tannins, leading to a hard, astringently dry finish.  — S.H.  (3/1/2010)

Midnight Cellars 2003 Crescent Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

  1. $26
This represents everything I don't like in Zin. Sorry! Very high alcohol, nearly 16 percent, with Porty, raisiny flavors, it's more like a dessert wine.  — S.H.  (2/1/2006)

Midnight Cellars 2005 Estate Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Soft and hot, with nearly 16% alcohol, this Zin has the benefit of dryness. But the alcohol gives it a prickly feel, and the flavors are of raisins and prunes.  — S.H.  (10/1/2007)

Midnight Cellars 2001 Nebula Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

  1. $19

Midnight Cellars 2006 Aquarius Pinot Noir (Paso Robles)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $38
Sharp and unripe, with stalky, green flavors alongside the cherries. Earns an extra point for its silky texture and dry finish.  — S.H.  (10/1/2009)
