2004 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard

Estate: Heitz Cellar
Region: Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United States of America

Tasting Note:July 5, 2017

Third red wine and second of the Heitz Cellars. After tasting all three guessed that this was the youngest of the three.

Deep ruby core with garnet edges. Layered nose with an attack of toasted notes, bacon fat, then opened up with some floral notes, dark cocoa, dark fruits and sweet spices. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Rich palate with sweet spices, spices and black fruits. Super long and dry finish.


Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Martha's Vineyard in Oakville. Aged for a total of three and a half years, of which one year was in American oak and two and a half years were in French oak.
