2004 Heitz Marthas Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

WSI 96 The regal purple the glass is the perfect introduction to this exceptional vintage. Lavish varietal aromas and a signature twist of mint are followed by an exquisite mouthful of rich black cherry. This is Cabernet at its finest, produced with sun-ripened fruit from a legendary vineyard. During the extended aging process, beautifully integrated French oak adds an appealing note of toasted vanilla. This skillfully balanced Cabernet displays the elegant complexity of its noble heritage as it builds to a long, lovely finish, impressive to drink now, certain to age gracefully, almost indefinitely. Drink now-2060+.
