  Beautiful wine. Totally balanced. Great from front palate to the aftertaste. Overshadowed a AO Proprietary Red of the same vintage.

  Heitz Cellars Tasting hosted by TCWC (Virtual): One hundred percent cabernet sauvignon from Rutherford. Heitz purchased the vineyard in 1984 and released their first from the 1989 vintage. A four ounce sample poured off two days prior. Deep crimson color. Opens with the Rutherford dust, followed by red berry fruit, sage and bay leaf. Full-bodied. Flavors of red fruit, bay and vanilla. As presenter Erik Elliott commented, there’s terrific density here. Becomes more dark-fruited as it sits, adding spice notes as well. Excellent. On the young side, I’d suggest another five years in the cellar. Erik stated Trailside can generally be expected to be a 25-45 year wine. 93+ pts for me and 92+ for Domino.

  Excellent Napa Cab. Still with a lot of life, but why wait, as it is drinking so well right now. Totally integrated with uniform flavors from start to finish.

  Classic Napa Cab. 2 hour decant and it showed beautifully. Worth the $75 I paid, but save for a special occasion. I would buy again at a discounted price. At 10 years, still young. Beautiful garnet color, slight hint of oak and vanilla. Long, lingering mouthfeel and aftertaste.
