Heitz Cellar
St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
Outstanding. It was worth the long wait. 2007 fruit still extremely bright, soft tannins and oak. Wonderful

Sep 3rd, 2023Easy to enjoy already which is true of most 12's. ripe and juicy plums, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, touch blue fruits, spice-box, light earthiness (crushed brown volcanics), dry florals, good acids & round & ripe finish.

Feb 6th, 2021Not an overly big cab, perhaps I should have decanted more. But a classic Napa cab that held up with a flavorful dinner. One of the original Napa cab producers.

May 30th, 2020Good not great like other vintages, more fruit on this vintage. Still a nice big Cab, decanted for 4 hours, should have done more. Not even sure if still young or just the vintage...
