The 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon bounds from the glass with Heitz’s signature pure red cherry and redcurrant flavors, accented by notes of red plum flesh, mint, underbrush, and dark cocoa. Its firm acidity and tannin, all in harmony with its plush mouthfeel, means this wine will fascinate you for decades. With Napa Valley’s average price for Cabernet Sauvignon cresting $100 these days, it’s also a phenomenal comparative value, outscoring some culty names at double the price.

"Dark fruit aromas of blackberries, bitter chocolate, dried herbs, blackcurrants, black olives and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with a textural, rounded mouthfeel and finely integrated tannins, leading to a savory, fruit-driven finish. Delicious. Drink or hold." - Jamessuckling.com

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Plump and vibrant, with good up-front fruit and bright acids, the 2021 captures the essence of modern classicism that is typical of the Heitz wines today. This is a superb entry-level offering from Heitz. Floral overtones brighten the finish." - Vinous
