About the Winery:
Family owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs as deep as the roots throughout the Napa Valley; a winery legend that has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Fifty-eight years of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.

Ratings & Reviews:

Jancis Robinson:
"Deep crimson with only a narrow brick rim. Some cassis and mint on the nose. Very luscious fruit and then quite dusty. Still very lively, as though made for long bottle age. Pretty introvert, probably old style California. Long."  (May 2006)
