This vineyard has been part of the Heitz estate since 1984, one of their three single vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 4 years in 100% new French Limousin oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits with rustic spices. On the palate, raspberry, black cherry and blackberry flavors with vanilla, tobacco, tomato leaf and licorice notes. Full-body, fine soft tannins, long finish, nicely integrated, balanced with acidity ending with sweet earthy, nutty character. Very Nice! Tasting Sample!

Wait for it... Still opening up. Tobacco, leather, and ripe blackberries. I would suggest another 5 years before it is in the zone. You know when it is 17 years old.

Still bright and showing some cassis, blackberry, dried herbs and graphite. This is aging very well.

Firm but still velvety tannins with hint of vanilla, lovely notes of black cherries, blackberry, cocoa and cassis

Showing incredibly well. Perfect secondary development. Tannins are a bit dry but doesn't subtract from the easy drinking elegance. @Pignetti's Restaurant, Temple TX
