Description

The 2019 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautifully balanced, multi-layered wine exuding complex aromas of cedar, dried herbs and blueberry. The palate is immediately accessible, with a silky texture and a delicious array of juicy dark fruits, intertwined with further complex notes of spice and mocha. It’s elegantly structured, with a satisfying freshness and a very persistent finish. It is drinking very well now but will cellar for ten years or more.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 93/100

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon swans out of the glass with gregarious scents of black cherries, cassis, and blackberry pie plus nuances of incense and camphor. The medium to full-bodied palate is expressive and juicy, with a plush texture and oodles of freshness, finishing with a minty lift.

Drink 2024 - 2040

James Suckling 93/100

Pretty aromas of currants, dried flowers and sage. Some yellow painted lead pencil with eraser. Slate. Medium-bodied with creamy and polished tannins that give a lovely texture and length. Drink or hold.

Joe Czerwinski 91/100

Yes, it is still possible to get a balanced, cellar-worthy Napa Cab for under a hundred. Heitz's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon accents just-ripe cherries with scents of dried herbs and mint, then offers a medium to full-bodied sensation on the palate, marked by gentle tannins. Ripe and fairly forward, with a softly dusty finish, this can be consumed young, or any time over the next decade or more.

Antonio Galloni 91/100

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a pretty rich wine for Heitz. Dark fruit, spice, leather and chocolate are all dialed up in this juicy, succulent Cabernet. The 2019 is a wine of transition at Heitz. It is the first vintage in which a part of the wine was aged in casks (new at the time), which left some uncharacteristic wood notes in the wine that show up in its racy personality. There's certainly plenty to like.
