Description
Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ml
Blended from our prized single vineyards and exceptional estate parcels in St Helena, the 2019 vintage began with plentiful rainfall and much-needed soil moisture. With limited heat events and foggy mornings, summer was picturesque, especially in the south. Late summer and early fall provided a relatively mild finish to the growing season, ensuring full phenolic development and preserving freshness and elegance in the fruit. The 2019 vintage will likely be remembered for the exceptional quality of fruit with abundant freshness and substantial texture.

"Excellent pedigree. Medium to full body with exquisite tannins that run the length of the wine and show intensity and focus. The purity of the cab character shows such clarity and resonates back to the great cabs of the 1970s."
96 points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
"Rose oil, star anise, and tree bark notes soar from the glass of the 2019 Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by hints of creme de cassis, mint tea, dark chocolate, and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam packed with intense black fruit layers, finishing long and perfumed. Very impressive!"
