A strip steak off the grill. This is open-knit Napa Cab rather than the massive kind, so drink it young or hold it to 2038 — chewy tannin, Provençal herbs.

THE STORY

About this wine

Classically styled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, fresh and elegantly structured. 100% Cabernet at 13.5% alcohol, deep garnet-purple in the glass, with cassis, red currant, spice, and Provençal herbs on a lively, pliant, medium-bodied palate.

The 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was made from fruit harvested largely before the early-September 2022 heat event. Heitz reports that shade from its elkhorn and California-sprawl trellising helped preserve grape integrity, and that an optical sorter was used so only perfect fruit entered the fermenters.

Worth knowing

The Napa Valley bottling is drawn from vineyards spanning multiple sites across the valley. Heitz keeps every vineyard lot separate through fermentation and the first two years in barrel. Once the single-vineyard Cabernet bottlings have taken their pick of barrels, what's left becomes this wine.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Tasting

Color: Deep garnet-purple in the glass.
Nose: Crushed flowers and sweet red-toned fruit lead, white pepper and spice adding lift, then cassis, red currant, and wet rock, with Provençal herbs and fallen leaves emerging.
Palate: Delicately played and medium-bodied, with a lively line and chewy tannins alongside. Open-knit, pliant, and inviting, it closes with a distinct herbal lift.
