Description

From a unique site in the Oakville AVA, the wonderful Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon sees a full five years of maturation before release. After fermentation of the intense, small-berried fruit, the wine spends a year in large, neutral oak barrels. It is then transferred into 100% new Limousin oak barriques for three years. It spends a final year in bottle before release. The resulting wine is rich and full-bodied with great depth of dark fruit, crisp acidity and fine-grained, grippy tannins. Capable of extended ageing, this is a delight to taste now, but it will be better in a year or two and will drink well for decades.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 94/100

Very pure, vibrant and delineated throughout, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha’s Vineyard is marked by strong floral overtones and a mid-weight structure that confers grace. Lifted, elegant and precise, the 2018 is quite attractive. Like all these new releases from Heitz, the Martha’s shows a bit of wood influence from new casks when this wine was made.

Joe Czerwinski 96/100

In a vintage that played to its strengths, the terrific 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard is a cool, gently herbal wine, loaded with black cherries and cassis, with just a touch of licorice. It's medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety without being heavy at all, concentrated and intense, with a long, tannic but ripe finish. Give it a few years in the cellar if you can keep your hands off it.

Drink 2026 - 2045
