2008 Martha's Vineyard -in equipoise even in this blush of youth. Savory woodsy scents of cedar and eucalyptus, frankincense and sugi tree incense all carry currants and taut ripened blackberries with a bit of that licorice note we admire among hackberries. The texture is sure and finishes long and full and on the tongue a touch meaty in all its breadth -which I love even now but is sure to become silkier still with a patient rest. Good luck! A wonderful wine to remind drifters back to Napa's roots.

A fine performance, the 2008 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet is rock solid. Black currants, attractive earth and underlying mint.😏Drinking pretty good now; will age up to 10 years from now #wine #cabernetsauvignon #heitzwinecellars #classic #napavalley

Such a baby! This wine needs time. It is showing lots of dark ripe currants and blackberries but it will take a few years for the oak to integrate fully with the fruit. Considering this is one of the smallest releases of Martha's Vineyard ever, it is definitely worth waiting.
