Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
99 points New release of an Napa Valley classic from Heitz Cellars. 99 Points Decanter: "Remarkably pure and fresh. Pristine black cherry and blackberry, layered with beautiful violet aromas. Everything builds with precision and focus, supported by gorgeously firm, taut, mineral-rich tannins that bring energy and drive. The wine is compact and tightly wound at this youthful stage, its intensity truly emblematic of the vintage. Drink 2026-2060." 94 Points Wine Spectator: "Ripe, fresh and focused, with a lovely beam of red currant plum coulis that stretches out alongside hints of savory, violet, tobacco and singed cedar. Finishes with a late twang of iron. Nicely done." 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.

Don’t drink a ton of Napa cab but it’s nice to have a nice one made in a somewhat more restrained style. 13.5%. Definitely young, the air helps - would wait several years or give a big decant. But even without a ton of that still very good with deep berry fruit, oaky dusty tannins that are relatively balanced. Great acid on the long finish. Excellent pairing with steaks and lamb chops at Sammy’s Ye Olde Cider Mill.
