Great color for a 1991. A bit exuberant in the new world style, but the herbal and lead pencil notes keep the whole thing in check. High extraction, but tannins fully resolved and a long finish. This is very good and aged well.

Very very good wine. Tasted blind and thought of left bank 98, never would have put this in Napa. So really good wine making here, wine is totally at its peak and harmonious.

Joe Heitz CAB rocks! My last of ten bottles. At 25+ years, still very vibrant and lush. Not quite as floral as I had expected but clearly well built to age a very long time. A benchmark Napa CAB.

Still good. Lots of menthol on the palate. Although there is some complexity from age this wine lacks real depth or length. Drink now.
