Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Lot C-91 Napa Valley 2016

Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Lot C-91 Napa Valley 2016

The palate of the 2016 Lot C-91 exhibits the density and length that only the truly great wines of the world are capable of. The soft expression of red and black fruits is a result of harvesting earlier while the fruit is still fresh and vibrant and has patience as the wine undergoes one of the longest aging regimens in the region. Clear differentiation between the Napa Valley Cabernet and Lot C-91 is the presence of savory elements such as sage, rosemary, cured meats, and black pepper. This patient approach allows for the integration of tannin, alcohol, acidity, and fruit. The result is a wine of incredible complexity and harmony, that is true to the place it comes from.

Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Critical Acclaim

96 James Suckling

Blue fruit with stone, lavender and currant aromas and flavors. Fresh herbs too. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins. Such firmness and focus and beauty. A blend of all their top single vineyards. Drink or hold.
