2019 Heitz Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Lot C-91 Napa Valley

Black berry, slate, lead pencil, black currant, and wet earth. 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. A blend of cab from the vineyards: Martha’s, Trailside, Howell Mountain, and Linda Falls. Drinkable but better in four or five years. Review Date: November 2023

"An alluring whiff of mint leads off, followed quickly by tightly wound damson plum and red currant coulis notes. Sleek and tight-grained on the finish, with cedar, savory and iron accents rippling through before leaving a sanguine echo. This distinctive version is set up to age well. Best from 2026 through 2038." -James Molesworth Review Date: July 2024
