2005 Heitz Martha’s Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

WSI 96 pts! The 2005 vintage is popular due to the near perfect weather conditions in the Napa Valley during the growing season. The grapes arrived at the winery in pristine shape, and the proof is in the delicious wine produced by the Heitz winemaking team. The gorgeous varietal flavors of the 2005 Martha’s reflect this wine’s classic pedigree. The alluring bouquet of ripe black cherry etched with mint sets the tone for enjoyment. In the mouth, the Cabernet fruit is wonderfully balanced with firm tannins, and the richness of layers adds to the complexity and intrigue. This Cabernet is a joy to drink now, and it will also make a sensational addition to any cellar.
