Only the third vintage from our estate Linda Falls Vineyard, which is comprised of seven hilltop acres on Howell Mountain, this small vineyard produces one of three vineyard designate Cabernets in the Heitz Cellar collection. Selected for its unique position and topography on Howell Mountain, Linda Falls Vineyard allows for a distinct terroir expression in our classic, Heitz style.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, farmed sustainably and certified organic by CCOF and Certified Fish Friendly Farming.
The palate of the 2015 Linda Falls is unlike any other wine that we produce. The elevation, soil, and aspect force the grapes to struggle. This hardship produces a wine of incredible density and structure, magnified by the characteristics of the vintage. The combination of tart and ripe black and red fruits with high mountain herbs of juniper and Douglas Fir make this one of the most unique expressions of pure Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. -- Brittany Sherwood, Winemaker
Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Shows enticing and mature hints of singed spice, dried sage, sassafras and bay leaf amid a core of gently mulled blackberry and boysenberry flavors. The long, fine-grained finish reveals a fresh edge, with the herbaceous side lingering. Drink now through 2038. 760 cases made." – JM (Nov 2020)
94 Points - James Suckling:
"Character here is full of mountain fruit with blueberry, pine needle, crushed stone and conifer. Full yet not overbearing with firm and finely chewy tannins and a long and fresh finish. Spicy at the end with cloves. Drink after 2023." (Nov 2021)
