Heimark is one of the hot new Cabernet producers in Napa Valley. Limited. 97 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as quite closed following its bottling a few months ago. This feels a bit lighter than the 2018. Some of that may be attributable to the year, or perhaps a shift to one of the blocks on the property with Clone 337 Cabernet, which often yields wines with red/purplish fruit character and pronounced floral nuances. That's not a bad thing though, as the 2019 is an especially refined, understated wine. I imagine it will come alive beautifully with a few years in bottle. My most recent tasting suggests that is already starting to happen. The 2019 is a total stunner." The focus of Heimark’s production is a singular expression every year of both their site and of Cabernet Sauvignon. Each wine released to date has been 100% varietal and each vintage sees about 20 months of aging in French oak. Less than 250 cases were produced of their first vintage; subsequent vintages are closer to 500 cases. The winemaker is Francoise Peschon.

Great! It's got a front end licorice to plum taste that I'm not a fan of. But still very dry and tannic. It wouldn't be my first choice again.
