1967 | Heitz Wine Cellar | Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

As the wine has aged for several decades, it displays a complex array of tertiary flavours and aromas, such as leather, tobacco, dried fruits, and earth, along with some remaining primary fruit characteristics.

Producer Information

Heitz Wine Cellar is an iconic Napa Valley wine producer located just south of St Helena. It is most famous for its single vineyard wines made of Cabernet Sauvignon, and in particular the Martha's Vineyard wine, which is one of Napa's "Cult Cabernet" labels. Heitz is the exclusive lease holder of the 35 acre (14 hectare) Martha's Vineyard in the Oakville AVA and has used its fruit to produce vineyard-designated varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the 1966 vintage. Other longstanding highlights in the portfolio of vineyard-designated wines include the Trailside Vineyard in Eastern Rutherford (see image) and the Linda Falls Vineyard in Howell Mountain. The estate runs vineyards across the wider Napa Valley area, with sites in Oakville, Rutherford, St Helena, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll District, and Calistoga. Until recently, Heitz generally shied away from using Napa's sub-AVA titles, choosing instead to use the more generic Napa Valley AVA along with the vineyard name. The style of Heitz's Cabernet Sauvignon wines has remained consistent over the years. The winery uses French oak over American, and fruit is harvested slightly earlier than much of the rest of the region, giving a wine that is slightly higher in acidity than most.
