Heitz Cellar Trailside Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

$129.99

Rare release of an Napa Valley classic. Limited. 95 points Wine Enthusiast: "From a certified-organic site in Rutherford and 100% varietal, this wine has benefitted from time in the bottle, dazzling in soft silky red fruit and jolts of nutmeg and dust. Beautifully layered, structured and brightly vibrant, it has impressive coaxings of cigar, cedar and a rich hint of wild vanilla." 94 points James Suckling: "Some darker and more powerful style to this single vineyard cab that delivers abundant blackcurrant and blueberry aromas and flavors. The tannins are long and fine, really even and commanding. Beautiful balance, too. Drink or hold." In the early 1980s, the Heitz Family acquired a marvelous Rutherford vineyard bordered on one side by the Silverado Trail and nudged on the other by the Conn Creek. In 1989, we introduced our Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon--an opulent wine that consistently expresses its lineage in bold, luscious statements. Our Trailside Vineyard produces Cabernet grapes that are incredibly intense and flavorful. We try to enhance that natural bravado during our extended aging process by using new French oak barrels

Ending the year with a fabulous wine. Decanted about 3 hours. Still needed a few swirls in the glass to open up. More underbrush than fruit.

As this opened up, it was fabulous. Intense but not syrupy, great fruit with some pepper, spice, and tobacco. So delicious. Wish I could afford them!

Too raisiny but drinkable, especially after some breathing. Perhaps this is the 2014 hot year problem.
