Heitz Cellar - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Founded in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs as deep as the roots throughout the Napa Valley; a winery legend that has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950’s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. 

The wines are made with an unwavering commitment to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a commitment to the sustainability of Napa Valley.

The 2018 Vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon will be remembered for the mild summer and near-perfect fall we experienced in Napa Valley. These vintage conditions allowed for the patient development of fruit and tannin, creating the elegant style for which Heitz Cellar is renowned. In this wine, we see timeless characteristics of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, such as soft black and red fruits, cedar, and sandalwood, supported by herbs de Provence.

"A pure, balanced and fresh Napa cabernet that is not just showing heady concentration and dark fruit. Here you get some violets, nimble flowers, redcurrants, graphite and fine spices. Some oranges, too. Fragrant and nuanced. Medium to full body with tight yet refined tannins. Rather linear, tense and elegant, but lacking neither power nor definition. Better to give it a few years to deliver more complexity. (Oct 2022)." - 94 Points, James Suckling
