2018 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, USA
2018 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, USA
This pedigreed vineyard showcases the 2018 vintage with its classic bouquet of ripe, black fruit reminiscent of blackberry, sweet plum, and classic. Notes of bay leaf, mint, and eucalyptus add aromatic intrigue and complexity to this wine, which is complemented by a structure only achievable in the highest-quality vintages. This iconic vintage of Martha's Vineyard has a softness yet wit a firm presence and a finish that leaves and unforgettable impression.
This red brims with dark currant, cherry and loganberry fruit, but you have to work through a lush swath of menthol to get there, all while notes of sweet tobacco and a hint of loam run underneath. Fine-grained, with a lingering twang of iron, this has all it requires for a lengthy cellar run, yet needs to meld a bit more. Best from 2026 through 2045. 3,612 cases made.
