Note di degustazione
This seven-acre site, planted in 2002, has yielded an excellent 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard. Intense cassis notes mark the nose of this black-fruited, inky-flavored wine. It's medium- to full-bodied and firm but already drinkable, with a crisp, lingering finish that hints at star anise and loamy earth.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard is a potent, inky wine loaded with Howell Mountain character. An exotic mélange of blackberry, gravel, spice, pencil shavings, chocolate and licorice infuse the 2021 with striking depth as well as complexity. All the elements are so well-balanced. There's a bit of reduction that comes from aging in uprights, but élevage should take care of that. Time in the glass brings out tons of brightness to round things out.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Linda Falls Vineyard is the most impressive of the single-vineyard Cabernets from Heitz. Striking inner perfume and vertical structure give the 2019 so much allure. This drop-dead gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon explodes with Howell Mountain intensity allied to a palpable sense of classicism. The Linda Falls is a real standout.
