Heitz Cellar Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon swans out of the glass with gregarious scents of black cherries, cassis, and blackberry pie plus nuances of incense and camphor. The medium to full-bodied palate is expressive and juicy, with a plush texture and oodles of freshness, finishing with a minty lift.

Drink 2024 - 2040

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a pretty rich wine for Heitz. Dark fruit, spice, leather and chocolate are all dialed up in this juicy, succulent Cabernet. The 2019 is a wine of transition at Heitz. It is the first vintage in which a part of the wine was aged in casks (new at the time), which left some uncharacteristic wood notes in the wine that show up in its racy personality. There's certainly plenty to like.
