HEITZ CELLARS 2013 CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY 750mL

Heitz is one of the quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon producers! Their Martha's bottle of Cabernet was the first to be vineyard designated, and this Napa Valley Cabernet is known to age longer and better that other wines that sell for 3-5 times this price! This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in oak tanks for one year, and French Limousin oak barrels for two years. This 2013 is a knockout from a vintage that has been declared a modern classic. One sniff, and anticipation takes hold. Beautiful aromas of vine-ripened blackberry contrast perfectly with spicy notes of nutmeg. There is a luscious weight and texture to the wine, but also a racy edge of well-balanced acidity on the palate. This is an extraordinary Cabernet - powerful, yet elegant, with all the wonderful aging potential you've come to expect from Heitz wines.
