Always been a fan of Heller, and been sitting on this awhile. If you are ever in Carmel this is a must stop. I am not convinced of the organic wine (no sulfite) movement- sulfites occur naturally in wine. This cab has aged very well without additional S02. Color is still an excellent lively purple. Nose of berries, stewed plums. Plum, blackcurrant, in mouth. Finish is amazing, like a velvet glove, with no hint of tannins, but still has great fruit. Almost (great) merlot like

It was exactly as a well made CA cab sauv should be…. Dark fruit, vanilla, light hint of tobacco/cedar, long finish. Excellent and even better after about 20 mins of air.
