Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
95 points New release of an Napa Valley classic from Heitz Cellars. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast "Editor's Choice": "Woody, herbal and elegantly structured, this wine is high-toned and freshly layered in bold red fruit. Given time in the barrel and the bottle, it shows its graceful edges and nuanced elegance with ease, finishing in dusty crushed rock. It vastly overdelivers on its price point." One of the classic Napa Valley brands. Heitz has been at the top of their game for decades, and this latest vintage of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is everything you've come to expect. Inviting aromatics of herb, bright red fruits, and violet. Moderate on the palate with layered black fruits, and graphite. This is a Napa Valley Cab drinks well above its price tag.

Underwhelming and still struggling to get on board with the house style, especially when the wines are young.

Nice contrast between the savory nose and fresh vibrant palate. Medium to full elegant body. Polished tannins. Charming now, this will be great in 4-5 years’ time.

Beautifully fragrant, this medium ruby colored Napa Cab is very herbal and fresh on the nose. Medium to full bodied with well defined flavors of blackcurrant, ripe black cherries and blueberries, cedar wood, cloves and chocolate, it doesn’t have the rustic appeal of previous vintages and is actually quite polished. Drink now until 2040.

Let it open, bit of a young bite… but after a smooth delight to drink. Big fruit .

Few more years of bottle age would’ve helped, but very nice already.
