Heitz Napa Valley Cabernet (750ml)

Since the founding of Heitz, Cabernet Sauvignon has been consistently made year after year, with the intention of showcasing the best of the Heitz vineyards throughout the Napa Valley.  Harvested from estate vineyards spanning six sub-appellations throughout the Napa Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers a full composition of the breadth of Napa Valley as a whole. 

From the fertile soils of western Oakville, to the recognizable terroir known as the “Rutherford Dust”, to the mountain grown fruit atop rugged Howell Mountain, these vineyards are each unique, but when combined, provide a palette of site specific characteristics that are the essence of Napa Valley.  Each vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is harvested from vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, St. Helena, Oak Knoll, and Calistoga. Each vineyard lot is kept separate and unblended during fermentation and also while aging in French oak barrels. The winemaker continuously tastes the various lots throughout the first two years of its time in barrel. When decisions have been made to select the exceptional barrels of wine for the single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons, the remaining barrels are blended together to become our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Napa Valley Cabernet spends another year in bottle before its release.
