2009 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2009 Martha’s Vineyard is an impressive wine with remarkable clarity and depth of flavor. The enticing dark garnet color of this Cabernet softens and elongates as you tilt the wine glass to see the translucence of the hue on the edges. Its classic, clean mint aroma evokes a smile in recognition of an “old friend”. On the palate, layers of complexity show an opulence of fruit, smoothly integrated with the core tannins of a slightly cooler growing season. This is a beautifully focused wine with textbook varietal character. The overall vibrancy of this Cabernet promises strength and balance that will carry forward for many years of enduring enjoyment – a true treasure from the Oakville appellation within the Napa Valley.
2019 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Hidden in the shadows of the Mayacamas Mountains on the alluvial fan of western Oakville, Martha’s Vineyard embodies the pedigree of being named the first single vineyard-designated wine in Napa Valley. Farmed and vinified exclusively by Heitz Cellar over the last 50 years, Martha’s Vineyard continues to set the standard for classic, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley. The long, warm summer of 2019 was even and consistent and marked by the classic, cool foggy mornings that help our vineyards maintain their vibrant and expressive characteristics. The incredible growing season led to wines with bright acidity, great structure with soft tannins, and brilliant, distinct aromatics. The 2019 Martha’s Vineyard will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
