Heitz Cellars Trailside Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (2012) 750 ML

Producer Notes "Deep shades of purple saturate the glass and compelling aromas emerge: fresh blackberries with a whisper of caramel and clove. This wine is opulent with a marvelous interplay of delicious fruit, French oak, and velvety tannins that persist through the lengthy finish." Wine Enthusiast 94 Points "From a certified-organic vineyard in Rutherford, this is a 100% varietal wine that impresses from start to finish, allowing room for a slight whiff of reduction and tar on the nose. Dark notions of coffee are interwoven between bright layers of cassis and red cherry around structured acidity and oak. Enjoy 2020–2028. Cellar Selection" James Suckling 93 Points "Subtle aromas of plums and cherries with hazelnuts and cedar follow through to a full body. Plenty of wood showing in the mid-palate with a flavorful finish. Needs two or three years to come together. A traditionally structured Napa cab with focus. Drink in 2021 and onwards." Wine Spectator 93 Points "Features an alluring mulled spice hint weaving around a core of gently steeped plum, blackberry and red currant fruit flavors. A light cherry wood note lines the finish while the fruit easily keeps pace. This is approachable now but there’s no rush. Drink now through 2033."
