Everything is in place for this 13 year old wine. Gorgeous color with a wonderful balance of softly muted fruit, acid, and resolved tannins. Stored for the past 5 years in 59-66 degree temperatures, the cork was in perfect shape with plenty of life left however now may be at its peak. Had with bone-in ribeye, sauteed cauliflower and mushrooms and mashed potatoes. With Alex and Mom.

Excellent. Well balanced classic CA cab. Fruit and earth and tannin and acid perfectly integrated over 13 years. Should continue to peak for at least a few more, but no reason to wait. Paired well with NY Strip and Jackson’s fondant potatoes.

We have drunk Heitz cab in the past and had not been impressed. This bottle of 2010 was really outstanding. The color was dark and rich, and the legs were seemingly endless. there were hints of cherry and blackberry, and went very well with our grilled lamb chops.
