Note di degustazione
Heitz's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is the only Cabernet the winery bottled that year. It is an absolute delight. What a wine. Bright, lifted and yet wonderfully deep, the 2011 captures all the best qualities of this challenging year had to offer. Blood orange, spice, sweet red cherry and pipe tobacco soar out of the glass as this gracious, mid-weight Cabernet shows off all of its charms. The 2011 still has quite a bit of freshness, but I would not push my luck on aging. More importantly, it would be a shame to miss the 2011 at its current plateau of beauty. I did not find the 2011 especially compelling when it was first released, but today it is another story.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is bright, floral and nuanced, with expressive aromatics, red toned fruit and plenty of citrus-inflected overtones that give the wine its lift and aromatic top notes. This is an especially lithe, delicate wine with good balance but less concentration than is the norm. Crushed rose petals, mint and white pepper add the closing shades of nuance.
