2018 Heitz Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Trailside Vineyard Napa Valley

“Sleek and focused, with notes of damson plum, red currant coulis and dark cherry preserves corseted tightly with singed tobacco, cast iron and loam accents. Cedar and sanguine notes add a twang amid the dark fruit, giving the finish a mouthwatering edge. A little patience required. Best from 2026 through 2040.” – James Molesworth Review Date: July 2024
