Tasting Notes: The 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, classic wine.

Well-integrated with lovely hints of ripe blueberries and raspberries, this wine follows through on the palate with an inner sweetness, almost like melted chocolate, yet it has a well-focused acidity on the finish.

Truly one of the most consistent wines in today’s marketplace, Heitz Napa Cabernet is flavorful and direct, tried-and-true, and it has an incredible following. This vintage is ready to enjoy now, but it will also merit further cellaring if you like a touch more silkiness to your Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes: Our 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet is a stunning wine from the popular 2007 vintage. Unquestionably a Heitz Wine Cellars cabernet, this is a classic wine of finesse and elegance – beautiful now and structured to age gracefully for years to come.

The rich varietal aroma leads to delicious flavors of dark cherry with notes of spicy plum. A generous core of cabernet fruit is nicely integrated with refreshing acidity and just the right touch of oak. This wine is silky in texture, building momentum as it crosses the palate to a lovely, lingering finish.
