Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
In the late 1950s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon: the Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Decades of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.
In 2018, Heitz Cellar entered a new chapter as operations were passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose roots in agriculture and commitment to fine winemaking made it a perfect match. The wines are made from 100% organically-farmed Napa Valley fruit and a commitment to sustainability.
The wine we’re featuring is their entry level Cabernet Sauvignon, which is full-bodied with a wide range of fruit notes both dark and vibrant. Perfect level of oakiness with an acidity that balances its smooth tannins.
