Note di degustazione
From a seven-acre parcel on Howell Mountain planted in 2002 at 1,400 feet above sea level (across from Cade Winery), the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard is a dark-hued, deeply pine-scented wine, loaded with blueberries and black cherries and backed by savory earth and black olive notes. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, richly velvety in feel and espresso-tinged on the lengthy finish.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard has really come together during the last phase of élevage. Black cherry, espresso, chocolate and licorice are all potently expressed. Howell Mountain Cabernet has more than enough density to stand up the new oak that runs through all the 2018s at Heitz. If anything, this Howell Mountain fruit handles the new oak best of all the Cabernets in the range. The Linda Falls is a big wine with huge mountain tannins but also a good deal of finesse.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard is a powerful, bold, Howell Mountain Cabernet. Black cherry, plum, sage, mint, tobacco, licorice and gravel lend quite a bit of nuance. This decidedly old-school Cabernet has plenty of mountain structure wrapped into its mid-weight frame. Readers will find a Cabernet that emphasizes strong mineral and savory accents more than overt fruit.
