The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is bright focused and nuanced with lovely energy and tons of glass. Perfumed floral and spice accents lift the red-toned fruit nicely. This exquisitely beautiful vivid Cabernet is all class. Like the Chardonnay the Cabernet Sauvignon is on the lighter side even for this style. It will be interesting to see if Heitz also pursues a bit more richness for this wine in future vintages. - By Antonio Galloni on October 2021 Arkansas businessman Gaylon Lawrence purchased the iconic Heitz Cellar the first of what has turned out to be a series of remarkable acquisitions focused on iconic wineries and vineyards. In just a short period of time Lawrence and his team led by Carlton McCoy have built quite an empire. Needless to say it will be fascinating to see what the new team does here. Given McCoy?s deep respect for the history of Napa Valley everything I have seen so far points to exalting the legacy of these reference-point properties. In other words I expect to see refinements at Heitz but not a drastic change in the style.

Heitz's regular 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon features a slightly minty-eucalyptus edge cherries and a hint of leather. Medium-bodied and concentrated this is silky and fine finishing a bit tart. Personally I'd prefer to see more mid-palate richness but that's not the style being pursued here. Published: Mar 31 2023
