HEITZ CELLARS
2015 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
NAPA VALLEY
Heitz Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s most historic wineries, and it’s their undeviating style of producing profound and age-worthy Cabernets that have become a hallmark of their brand.
The winery has reliably produced their unmistakably intense, savory, well-built Cabernets since the 1960s.
Their 2015 Napa Cabernet perfectly expresses their timeless approach, and with a 95 Point Score and Editors’ Choice, I recommend going all-in.
Founder and Napa Valley icon, Joe Heitz had a keen eye for discovering vineyards capable of producing age-worthy wines.
The winery has vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, St Helena, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll, and Calistoga, and their Napa Valley Cabernet captures this diversity and is a pure representation of Napa Valley terroir.
Each decision made at the winery, from when to pick, through the entire fermentation and aging process are purposefully made to guide the wine into a style that’s both stunning upon release and will stand the test of time, rather than be flashy and forward when consumed young.

From Wine Enthusiast: “Woody, herbal and elegantly structured, this wine is high-toned and freshly layered in bold red fruit. Given time in the barrel and the bottle, it shows its graceful edges and nuanced elegance with ease, finishing in dusty crushed rock. It vastly overdelivers on its price point.”
95 Points, Editors’ Choice
Winery Notes: “The 2015 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon immediately entices with notes of black cherry, sweet plum, fresh raspberries, currants, anise, and clove. These notes are complimented by savory elements, reminiscent of sweet tobacco and new leather. The mouthfeel on this wine has gentle power. It is light and bright with fresh acidity yet there is weight and length that extends long after the first sip of wine. The structure is balanced with soft and developed tannins, only achieved by allowing this wine to age for two full years in barrel and full year in bottle before release.”

CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Retails at: $49.99
Members’ price: $45
Tasting Notes: “An intriguing bouquet of crushed blackberries, black cherries, ground espresso and baker’s chocolate. On the palate, the wine is opulent, powerful and concentrated, with wave after wave of black plum, mixed berry cobbler, cocoa dusted chocolates, green tea and tobacco, all interwoven and dazzling your palate. The rich, mouth-watering structure is complimented by fine grained tannins which carry it through to a long, supple, velvety finish. This wine can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for 12+ years.”

The 2016 Cuttings is a larger-than-life Cabernet Sauvignon that always makes an indomitable entrance with a spectacular display of unbridled richness, voluptuous textures and satin layers. The wine was thoughtfully inspired by steep, hillside vineyards and expert blending, and the 2016 was built around a core of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, elevated with Petite Sirah, Syrah and Zinfandel.
