🏰 The 2019 Heitz Cellar Linda Falls Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon hails from Howell Mountain, where its unique topography and volcanic soils impart a distinct mountain terroir. The vintage itself was exceptional, marked by abundant winter rainfall and a long, consistent summer, resulting in wines with bright acidity, great structure, and soft tannins. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is farmed sustainably and certified organic, showcasing a focused and precise profile with pronounced clarity and heightened fruit intensity. Aged for three years in the cellar and two in bottle, it's drinking beautifully now and promises to evolve for another 15+ years. Critics are raving, with Vinous calling it "the most impressive of the single-vineyard Cabernets from Heitz," exploding with Howell Mountain intensity and a palpable sense of classicism. Decanter notes its pretty and focused character, laced with bright acidity, and aromas of cherry, blackberry, crushed cocoa nibs, violets, and rose petals, leading to a palate of warm, spiced red and black fruit with soaring, refined tannins. 【98 Points, Vinous: "The most impressive of the single-vineyard Cabernets from Heitz."】 🍴 This bold and structured Cabernet Sauvignon is a superb match for rich dishes.
