This is a classic throwback Napa Cab. I would imagine the percentage of Cab is above 90, if not 100%. There's lots of green, herbal notes. Not in an underripe way, just in a Cab way. Red and done darker fruits, well structured, and a bit of food helped this quite a bit. It's actually a little lean, which is surprising considering the 14.5 listed alcohol. I enjoyed this, but anyone expecting the chocolate and blackberry Cab prevalent in Napa is going to probably be disappointed.

Tart cherry, oaky, medium body, tannic finish, plum. Pleasant finish. Old school? Enjoyable for its style. Evokes memories of wine tasting in Napa in 80’s driving up from Peninsula.

Heitz is always ready to go. Well rounded everything. Celebrated our 14 year anniversary with my last bottle of 2015.
