Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017

Family-owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar's legacy runs as deep as its roots throughout Napa Valley. This winery legend has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa's modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines.

On the palate, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays a variety of soft and elegant red fruits such as wild raspberry, ripe strawberry, and red currant. The undertones of Western Red Cedar and fresh-turned potting soil evoke an old-world earthiness that remains true to the classic style of Cabernet Sauvignon from decades past.

Thick in black fruit, soy and leather, this is a concentrated and well-structured wine, showing plenty of ability to age. Sinewy and still tight, it shows the warmth of the vintage and underlying freshness that helps to balance and broaden.

Reserved in style, with mint, tea and sandalwood aromas leading the way for a fine-grained core of damson plum and red currant coulis. A subtle savory edge winds through the finish, which lingers prettily. Drink now.
